Raspberry White Chocolate Wedding Cake!

So one of my best friends recently got married, and I was lucky enough to be her maid of honor, and she asked me to make her wedding cake! I was so honored. The beautiful bride to be and her hubby decided on one of my favorites, the white chocolate raspberry! So good!

Here is the gorgeous bride to be! She even got her "something borrowed" from me! That wonderful necklace is from me :) I also found this awesome hand towel for the kitchen while I was out buying ingredients for the cake! It is so perfect :)

And here is the cake!It is not my best work, but hey, it tasted delicious!

Recipe:

2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

2 teaspoons baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 1/3 cups milk

4 ounces (2/3 package) white chocolate , chopped

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) butter , softened

1 1/2 cups granulated sugar

2 eggs

1/2 cup raspberry preserves  2-8 oz. packs of cream cheese
2 cups powdered sugar
2 oz. white chocolate (melted and cooled)

Preheat oven to 350°F and prepare a 10 inch square pan and a 6 inch round pan.
In medium bowl, combine flour, baking powder and salt. In small microwave-safe bowl, heat milk until hot, but not boiling. Add white chocolate; stir until chocolate melts. Add vanilla; set aside. In large bowl, beat butter and sugar with electric mixer until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, mixing well. Add flour mixture alternately with melted chocolate mixture, mixing until just combined. Pour into prepared pan.
 Bake 12-16 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes in pan; remove and cool completely on cooling grid
To make the white chocolate cream cheese frosting, cream the cream cheese. Whip the cream cheese until fluffy, and add in the white chocolate. Mix until incorporated, and add in the powdered sugar.
After the cake is cooled, slice the square cake and the round cake in half, lengthwise. Fill with a layer of cream cheese frosting, then top that with a hefty layer of raspberry preserves! do this to all of the cakes! Then layer on top of each other and to a crumb coat on the cake, freeze or refrigerate until the crumb coat is nice and sturdy. Frost with the remaining cream cheese frosting.
Slice it up and enjoy!
