INSTRUCTIONS

1. Preheat oven to 180C (360F). Grease and link two 8-inch round cake tins with baking or parchment paper.
2. In a medium saucepan, add butter, white chocolate, sugar and almond milk. Place on medium heat, stirring until smooth and sugar has dissolved. Set aside for a few minutes to cool slightly.
3. Add eggs and vanilla to cooled white chocolate mixture and stir until combined. Add flour and baking powder and stir until combined – don’t worry if the batter is a little lumpy. Gently fold through the raspberries.
4. Divide the cake batter between the two cake tins and place in the oven for approximately 30-35 minutes or until a skewer inserted in the middle comes out clean. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
5. To make the raspberry buttercream, add butter to a large mixing bowl. Beat with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Add vanilla and beat again. Add 1/3 icing sugar and 1 tablespoon of milk and beat until smooth and creamy. Add 1/3 icing sugar and 1 tablespoon of milk and beat again. Finally, add the remaining 1/3 icing sugar and beat until smooth. Add raspberry jam and beat until smooth and creamy.
6. Place one cake layer onto a cake board or stand. Cover the top with raspberry buttercream. Place second cake layer on top (upside down for a nice flat top). Frost the top and sides of cake. Top with fresh raspberries.
