If you’re looking for the perfect gluten free cake, you truly just found it. I’ve been wanting to make a fluffy layered cake for spring and Easter and this one is just the ultimate. Truly, I started with wanting to develop a white chocolate brownie and accidentally wound up developing the most delicious white chocolate cake… and here it is! 

Not only is this recipe gluten-free, it’s grain-free, and it’s made with dairy-free white chocolate.

Why you’ll love this White Chocolate Raspberry Cake

  • A great gluten-free cake! Gluten-free baked goods can be tricky but this is fluffy and delicious!
  • Perfect for Easter or spring! As the season change, I love a fruity dessert! The white chocolate flavor cake pairs perfectly with raspberry flavor!

The Ingredients for White Chocolate Raspberry Cake

  • White Chocolate. I use these Enjoy Life chocolate chips for dairy free.
  • Ghee. You can sub coconut oil for dairy-free.
  • Eggs. I haven’t tried to make this cake without eggs and think it would be hard to do. If you want an egg-free cake, I would try this banana cake that is egg free!
  • Vanilla Extract and Baking Soda.
  • Golden Coconut Sugar. I use this golden coconut sugar!
  • Almond Flour. I haven’t been able to make the recipe with any replacement for almond flour.
  • Arrowroot Starch. You should be able to use tapioca starch in place.
  • Raspberry Jam. I use this raspberry jam in the recipe.
  • Vanilla Icing. I use this for dairy free.
  • Raspberries. Optional, but I like topping with fresh raspberries.

How to Make White Chocolate Raspberry Cake

  • Step One. Melt the white chocolate and ghee together and allow to cool.
  • Step Two. Add the egg, egg yolks, vanilla, and coconut sugar.
  • Step Three. Combine the rest of the dry ingredients and then add to the wet ingredients.
  • Step Four. Pour the batter into baking pans and bake.

  • Step Five. Allow to cool and then top one with raspberry jam and then add the second cake before icing.
  • Step Six. Allow to set in fridge and then add additional icing and raspberries and enjoy!

Tips & Tricks

  • Switch up the size/shape of the cake. You can use a larger cake pan to make a larger cake, but you’ll need to keep an eye on the cake while baking to make sure you don’t over or under bake it! 
  • Add a different filling. You can most definitely switch up the filling! Strawberry jam, or a homemade jam would both be great. 

Can you make this cake egg free?

I haven’t tried to make this cake without eggs, and it would honestly be a little hard to replicate egg free. However, I have banana cake that is egg free!

Can you make this cake without almond flour?

I haven’t tried to make this recipe without almond flour, but let me know if you try!
