A Simple and Delicious White Chocolate Raspberry Loaf Cake with White Chocolate Buttercream Frosting and Fresh Raspberries!
This post may contain afilliate links!
So… White Chocolate and Raspberry… it’s been a while. The last time I posted a White Chocolate and Raspberry related recipe was 10 months ago, and quite frankly… that’s far too long. It’s one of the best marriages of flavours in the world.
The sweetness of White Chocolate with the freshness and sharpness of Raspberry makes such a wonderful combination that I just can’t avoid.
I’ve done several recipes with it already, including my White Chocolate & Raspberry Rolls, my White Chocolate & Raspberry Cheesecake and also my White Chocolate & Raspberry Blondies just to name a few!
Either way, it was time to post another recipe. I thought I would go all out, and do a recipe that has been requested over and over for the longest time… this beauty. My White Chocolate Raspberry Loaf Cake. Oh heyyyyy huns, it’s heaven time.
This beauty is a marriage of various different ideas. I always think loaf tin cakes are similar to bundt tins in a way, as they take an age to bake, but are so easy to decorate! This beauty takes an hour to bake in the oven, and it’s not even that big in size!
I used the Tala 2lb loaf tin for this, as I just love it. It’s the perfect tin for loaf cakes, for bread, and even for ice creams! I utterly love it. It’s heavenly. And.. bonus.. it can go in the dishwasher which is always good in my eyes!
For reference, the Loaf Tin I have used is 24.4 x 14.4 x 6.9 cm in size. I’ve noticed when shopping that some ‘2lb loaf tins’ are TINY and I have no idea how they’re all meant to the same size.
For this cake, I used fresh raspberries, as I just love to bake with them. Also, it’s summer, so they’re in peak season which means they taste amazing! You can try frozen raspberries, but they can often make the cake take a little longer to bake!
The cake mix itself is just a regular basic cake sponge. It’s the best kinda sponge to use, and why mess with what isn’t broken?! Add in the raspberries, and white chocolate and boom you’re done. It’s so easy and so delicious!
For decoration, you can do pretty much anything you want. I went for a white chocolate buttercream because I wanted a swirling/ribbon effect on the top with the buttercream. I used a medium leaf tip to get the effect, and I am obsessed!
For the decoration, I just used some fresh raspberries, some freeze-dried raspberries, and some mini white chocolate chips. I just adore how the freeze-dried raspberries look on all my bakes, which is why I use them so often! They’re pretttyyyyy.
You can buy the freeze-dried raspberries online, or in stores such as Waitrose, Lakeland, or Sainsburys!
Anyway, this recipe has been very sought after for a very long time, so I hope it’s a hit for you guys. The latest recipe that I posted that was SO unbelievably requested was my Bakewell Blondies, and they went a little crazy, so ENJOYYYY! x
White Chocolate Raspberry Loaf Cake!
Ingredients
Cake
- 200 g Unsalted Butter/Stork
- 200 g Caster Sugar
- 200 g Self Raising Flour
- 4 Medium Eggs
- 200 g Raspberries
- 150 g White Chocolate Chips/Chunks
Decoration
- 125 g Unsalted Butter (room temp)
- 250 g Icing Sugar
- 125 g White Chocolate
- Raspberries
- Freeze Dried Raspberries
- White Chocolate Chips
Instructions
For the Cake
- Preheat your oven to 180C/160C Fan, and line your 2lb Loaf Tin with parchment paper!
- Beat together your Butter and Sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add in your Self Raising Flour and Eggs and beat again till smooth and lovely!
- Fold through your Raspberries and White Chocolate!
- Pour the mix into the tin, and bake the cake in the oven for 55-65 minutes!
- Leave the cake to cool in the tin for 10 minutes, and then turn onto a wire rack to cool fully!
For the Decoration
- Melt your White Chocolate until smooth, and leave to cool.
- Beat your Butter in a mixer for a few minutes so it's really smooth.
- Add in your Icing Sugar and beat again till smooth!
- Add in the White Chocolate and beat again.
- Ready your piping bag and nozzle, and pipe your Buttercream onto your cake however you fancy!
- Add some fresh Raspberries, Freeze Dried Raspberries and White Chocolate Chips and enjoy!
Notes
- I recommend using this 2lb Loaf Tin!
- I use these Freeze-Dried Raspberries!
- Use a cake skewer to see if it's done - it should come out clean.
- You can store this in the fridge due to the fresh fruit in the sponge and on top, but if its a really cold day I would keep it outside the fridge as it could dry out.
- If you struggle with chocolate in buttercream, add 1-2tbsp of whole milk to smooth it out, but only do this IF it has split.
- Sometimes the raspberries can sink... and it's not the end of the world. It happens. You can try coating them in a couple tablespoons of flour, if you wish.
- Loaf cakes can sometimes take slightly longer to bake in some ovens (if the oven temp is off) as they act similarly to bundt cakes!
- If you find your cake is a little greasy, it's most like the chocolate that's melted and started to react during baking - don't worry, you can just pat it off - it won't affect the cake at all, just the outside of it can feel a little greasy.
ENJOY!

April 3, 2021 at 1:47 pmAm disappointed as gas mark not given , so I had to go searching for conversion , not everyone has an electric oven
Jane's Patisserie
April 3, 2021 at 9:49 pmAnd I have never baked with gas ovens..
Janet
March 28, 2021 at 8:51 pmIs it possible to add food colouring to this buttercream due to it having chocolate in it?
Jane's Patisserie
March 29, 2021 at 2:35 pmHello! yes it is just make sure to use a good quality food colouring such as wilton, sugarflair, progel, or coloursplash x
Lisa Major
March 24, 2021 at 10:20 amMade for the 1st time yesterday and it was a hit. Will definitely be making this again.
Jane's Patisserie
March 27, 2021 at 11:06 amSo glad you loved it!xx
Jen
March 20, 2021 at 1:00 pmHiya – would salted butter be ok to use for the sponge and icing? I guess it might be nice if you like things a bit less sweet? Thanks!
Jane's Patisserie
March 22, 2021 at 4:23 pmYes!! x
DAMIAN KOBUS
March 19, 2021 at 11:10 amMy cake collapsed in the middle after taking it out and cooling and was very wet and oily? any idea why
Jane's Patisserie
March 22, 2021 at 4:30 pmThat sounds under baked – the raspberries can sometimes bring much more moisture than other times so that can cause a problem x
Rashi
March 17, 2021 at 10:58 amhi
I tried this recipe, the taste was heaven, however despite baking at 160 c for 60 minutes i felt my cake was not cooked that well and also my cake sunk in the middle when left for cooling. please can you advise what could have gone wrong. I want to bake again for my birthday on saturday
Jane's Patisserie
March 27, 2021 at 2:12 pmHello! I’m so sorry I have only just seen this. This normally means a cake is under baked but also moisture from the raspberries may have meant it needed bit longer/got a bit soggy. x
Rashi
March 15, 2021 at 2:40 pmhi Jane
I tried this recipe and it tasted awesome. However there was some problem, my cake raised well whilst baking but when left for cooling it sank from the middle. And second depsite baking at 160 c for 60 minutes I felt the cake was a bit moist/watery. Please can you guide me as i really want to make this cake again pls.
Jane's Patisserie
March 23, 2021 at 3:20 pmThis is normally down to the raspberries – the best way to fix this is to use 20g freeze dried raspberries instead of fresh or frozen x
Brittany
March 14, 2021 at 1:00 amGreat tasting cake and easy to follow recipe. But made it twice and both times the raspberries have sunk to the bottom so has made cake too soggy and breaks apart when coming out of the loaf tin. Any tips?
Jane's Patisserie
March 15, 2021 at 11:46 amHiii! Try coating the raspberries in flour and only add them to the top of the cake before baking!x
Katie
March 9, 2021 at 4:59 pmI made your lemon drizzle loaf cake last week and it went down an absolute treat so firstly thankyou! Secondly, would there be any issues using the same quantities as the lemon drizzle loaf for eggs/flour/sugar/butter as that recipe worked really well for me. I understand the cake will be a little bigger than this one or is there another reason that the quantities of those are different?? 🙂
Jane's Patisserie
March 10, 2021 at 8:58 pmThe quantities are a little different because of the additional weight in this cake of the raspberries and chocolate! x
Akbar
March 3, 2021 at 1:22 amThis looks super amazing. I am wanting to colour the white chocolate frosting and i have gel based colours. Will that be ok? Or would that make the white chocolate in the buttercream sieze up?
Jane's Patisserie
March 3, 2021 at 9:14 pmThat should be okay as you are beating into a buttercream! x
Rebecca McKeown
March 2, 2021 at 9:59 pmHi Jane going to try this out tomorrow, would you say that frozen, fresh or freeze dry raspberries give the best results? Does the type affect the taste at all? Thank you
Jane's Patisserie
March 3, 2021 at 8:16 pmI would say freeze dried gives the best bake because there is no moisture risk! x
Katy
January 27, 2021 at 8:06 pmHi Jane,
Firstly I found your website last year and absolutely love your recipes! Thank you!
My son has just asked for a white chocolate cake this weekend, but no raspberries for him. I thought I might use my mini loaf tins to do some with and some without. Any thoughts on whether this would work and any variations I should make on temperature or time? If not I’ll wing it!
Thanks, Katy xx
Jane's Patisserie
January 28, 2021 at 7:18 pmI’m not 100% sure on timings I am afraid, but it would work without the raspberries in a mini loaf tin! xx
Mantha
January 25, 2021 at 4:18 pm1st time baking a loaf cake. Raspberries sank to the bottom and had a very soggy base. I’ll definitely use freeze dries next time. But what can I do to stop this or fix it?
Thanks Jane 🤩
Jane's Patisserie
January 28, 2021 at 7:35 pmYou can try the flouring technique to help prevent it! x
Martha
January 18, 2021 at 8:21 pmHi Jane love this cake. If we’re to use 2 pme 4inch tins would the same measurements work and how would the timings differ so you think? Any help is greatly appreciated!
Thank you
Martha
Martha
January 18, 2021 at 8:22 pmSorry I mean 6 inch 4 inch deep apologies
Jane's Patisserie
January 19, 2021 at 6:48 pmI really have no idea I’m afraid! Sorry!
Emily
January 16, 2021 at 12:31 pmMade this cake quite a few times now it’s lovely. I doubled the ingredients and make a 2 tier cake with white chocolate drip and it went down a treat.
Amara
March 17, 2021 at 8:05 pmHi Emily! I am wanting to do similar… what size tin did you use? And by 2 tier do you mean a sandwich cake with two layers or two whole cakes on top of each other?
Hannah
January 13, 2021 at 11:38 amHi Jane, I’m looking forward to making this cake on the weekend but just wondering if you know roughly how many calories are per serving? No worries if not
Jane's Patisserie
January 13, 2021 at 12:13 pmI’m afraid I do not, sorry!
Claire
January 12, 2021 at 2:33 pmHi Jane
Would there be a way of adapting this to make it just a plain vanilla loaf cake? And would it work using oreos?
Jane's Patisserie
January 13, 2021 at 12:20 pmIf you leave out the raspberries and white chocolate it would be plain – but yes oreos would work like in my cookies n cream cake x
Sumera
December 20, 2020 at 9:28 pmHi Jane! I really want to try this cake but was wondering if I can add ground almonds and almond extract to it? I love bakewell so want to experiment with the almond flavour with the raspberry and white chocolate. What quantities shall I use? Also will you be doing a traybake version as per your comment below? I bake for colleagues and family and traybakes are just so much easier to transport! A final note, I love love love cardamom In cakes, what recipes of yours can I add it to? I’ve added it to a coffee and walnut cake and also a pistachio cake with a lemon drizzle. I suppose I food add it to your pistachio white chocolate cake? Thanks for posting such scrumptious recipes and have a fab Christmas!
Jane's Patisserie
January 1, 2021 at 12:11 pm1-2tsp Almond extract for sure as that is simple, ground almonds will change the texture somewhat but would still be tasty, but any more ingredients and it will definitely be too much for the tin so I’m not sure on quantities! And I will begin the future doing one yes. And any recipe that you think would work such as the pistachio one x
Paige
December 8, 2020 at 7:38 amLovely cake and instructions are so easy to follow! I think next time I’ll use white chocolate chunks instead!
Hannah
December 7, 2020 at 9:14 pmI need to try this one again as I followed the recipe but the cake was very overcooked so would put in for a shorter period next time. Otherwise it was lovely, even the dog thought so as she managed to grab half 🙈
Wai
December 7, 2020 at 8:38 pmMade this recipe several times now. Very rich and decent and moist… Great easy to follow recipe
Neha
December 7, 2020 at 8:12 pmI was shocked by how greasy this cake was – I wish I’d read more of the comments before baking this and used larger white choc chunks rather than shop bought choc chips! Had to dab the cake with several bits of kitchen towel to soak up the grease. Luckily it dried out by the next day and you couldn’t tell. Apart from that I loved this cake. It took a bit longer to cook in the middle for me but I wrapped the top in foil to prevent it burning and this did the trick and left in the oven for an extra 10-15 mins. It was still moist in the middle and so yummy. The white choc buttercream was heavenly. Can’t wait to try this recipe again taking the above into account!
Jane's Patisserie
December 7, 2020 at 8:17 pmAhh yes – I hate how white chocolate can do that! Glad it sorted out in the end and you liked the taste! xx
Abi
December 2, 2020 at 7:06 pmSo yummy! I made it into a 2 tier birthday cake for my husband so i did a little more buttercream and added jam, he loved it and so did my work colleagues. Thank you for another great recipe 😀
Amara
March 18, 2021 at 6:18 amCan I ask what sized tin you used and if yiy changed quantities? Thanks.
Emil
November 22, 2020 at 10:39 amHello Jane 🥰 I’ve made this loaf recipe so many times now and it’s absolutely beautiful, always a hit with the family. I’m wanting to make this sponge into a 6” four layer cake. What quantities would you recommend? Thanks!
Hannah
November 6, 2020 at 1:08 pmHi Jane,
This looks delicious! Would this work with Gluten Free self raising flour?
Thanks
Hannah
Jane's Patisserie
November 6, 2020 at 3:06 pmYes!!
Jade
October 29, 2020 at 10:27 pmHi , I’ve been asked to make this a a three tier cake, should I use your Victoria sponge celebration cake recipe then add in the white choc chips and raspberries?
Jane's Patisserie
October 30, 2020 at 9:31 amYes you can do! x
Sam
October 22, 2020 at 1:17 pmHello, i noticed you uses selfraising powder, in France We cant always find it in our markets, i suppose that would mean flour + baking powder. However for 200 g of flour, How much baking powder should i add to my cake?
Its my brothers Birthday cake, and i really want to get it right 🙂
Thank you for your help
🌺
Jane's Patisserie
October 22, 2020 at 3:16 pmYou typically should use 2 level tsps baking powder per 150g of plain flour – so you can mix up a larger batch, and use the required weight in this cake. x
Holly
October 17, 2020 at 4:52 pmHi Jane,
I LOVE this cake so much. My favourite, thank you for the recipe!
I want to make this into a normal 2 tiered round cake, do you think these measurements will work?
Thanks, Holly x
Jane's Patisserie
October 17, 2020 at 7:10 pmYes!
Gale
October 15, 2020 at 12:18 amI would love to make this but I am having trouble with the conversion to cups. I don’t want to mess this up..so will you please add the us measurements to make this easier instructions. I can’t wait to give this a try.
Jane's Patisserie
October 15, 2020 at 10:06 amUnfortunately I do not measure in cups as I find it extremely unreliable, and baking needs to be accurate. x
Karen Tyler
September 12, 2020 at 6:34 pmMade this for the first time for our book club group meeting. Im not an experienced baker but found this really easy to make and it was so delicious 😋 will definitely be making it again
Jane's Patisserie
September 12, 2020 at 9:01 pmAh that’s so lovely! I’m so glad!
Shirley
September 1, 2020 at 2:01 pmOMG made this yesterday for my local coffee shop. Took it in at 9am today and was all sold by midday / a hit 🤗
Emma
August 28, 2020 at 8:37 pmCooked this for first time, as love your other recipes, when it cooled it was quite wet in the middle and bottom and heavy. I cooked for 75 minutes should I cook for longer? Try adding baking powder?
Thanks
Emma ☺️
Jane's Patisserie
August 30, 2020 at 10:52 amYes so you can definitely add baking powder if you want, but generally the texture will be slightly different after the fruit. You can try frozen raspberries and even freeze your chocolate before adding in to help too! x
Marjan
August 18, 2020 at 9:50 amWhen I made this recipe it become quite soggy and dense, would I be able to add baking powder to help rise it a little? X was a tasty cake regardless
Jane's Patisserie
August 19, 2020 at 8:37 pmYes it would definitely be lighter with baking powder! I’d add about 1-1.5tsps! x
Yara
August 5, 2020 at 11:54 pmHi pretty jane💗💗 200g flour = 2 cups of flour and thank you so much 💗💗💗
Jane's Patisserie
August 6, 2020 at 10:10 amI don’t measure in cups as it’s extremely unreliable, sorry.
Fehmida Mohamed
August 13, 2020 at 9:10 pmHi Jane
I would like to make this recipe in a 2 tier cake using a 9inch tin. Please can you recommend what to do, should I double the recipe? I would like to sandwich the layers between fresh cream and fruit too.
Thankyou
Claudia
July 28, 2020 at 3:02 pmHi there I am so excited to make this. It’s currently in the oven as we speak. I had a 1lb loaf pan and am making 2. Just out of interest, once cooked would you think this could be put in the freezer? The reason I ask is I am having a barbecue on Friday and think it would be a lovely desserts for my guests.
Thank you x
Jane's Patisserie
July 28, 2020 at 3:45 pmHey! Ah yes it would definitely freeze – make sure to wrap it well (once fully cooled) and it’ll be fine! X
Claudia
August 1, 2020 at 10:50 amDivine! Loved this and will definitely be making it again. So tasty and moist. I added more white chocolate on top and a dusting of icing sugar on the top of the raspberries. Lush 😋😋🤤🤤
Jaz
July 17, 2020 at 5:48 pmCould this be made into a tiered cake?
Jane's Patisserie
July 17, 2020 at 7:38 pmIt can be – use my other tiered cakes as guidance for quantities!
Charlotte
July 13, 2020 at 12:48 pmUnfortunately everything sank for me but it still tastes lovely. I think I’m going to try as a double or triple layered round cake instead. It may suit my oven better!
Jan Robinson
September 6, 2020 at 3:20 pmIf you make sure your fruit is dry and give it a toss in flower it won’t all go to the bottom of the cake.
Lesley
July 10, 2020 at 11:15 amHi Jane, can you freeze this beautiful cake please
Jane's Patisserie
July 10, 2020 at 3:09 pmYes you can!!
Saskia
June 30, 2020 at 11:55 amHi Jane,
I was wondering if this would work with a white chocolate ganache frosting instead or buttercream? I was going to heat the double cream, pour over the white chocolate, stir to melt, then let it sit so it hardens for piping. Do you have any tips if so? Making this on Thursday and I cannot wait!
Thanks 🙂
Jane's Patisserie
June 30, 2020 at 12:04 pmHey! Ah yes it should do! I have a white chocolate ganache on my Biscoff Drip Cake which is probably worth looking at xx
Manisha
June 15, 2020 at 4:48 pmHi,
I was wondering how I could possibly make this recipe eggless?
Lisa O
August 29, 2020 at 4:51 pmHave you tried using an egg replacer? I have a student who has an egg allergy and I buy this for her cooking lessons from Holland and Barrett. Always works a treat!
Abi
June 10, 2020 at 7:05 pmGreat recipe. I used fresh strawberries instead of raspberries and I used chopped white chocolate chunks rather than chocolate chips as that is what I had and it was lush. This recipe is definitely one for the recipe tin.
Noor
June 10, 2020 at 5:39 amHello! was wondering which type of white chocolate you recommend for the loaf, baking chocolate (dr oetker) or supermarket brands (lindt)?
Jane's Patisserie
June 10, 2020 at 9:01 amI use cooking chocolate from Callebaut – but if I was to use something from the supermarket it would be cooking chocolate, or supermarket own!
Vanessa Baker
June 9, 2020 at 4:07 pmAbsolutely delicious – made a nice change from chocolate cake etc. Will definitely make again. I made your crunchie ice cream this morning before work – as you do! so can’t wait to try it.
Soph
June 8, 2020 at 3:59 pmHey, I was just wondering how big (roughly) should the white chocolate chips be for the cake? I saw you say that if they are too small that they can cook themselves. Also, when coating the raspberries in flour, do we take this flour from the flour we have already weighed out for the cake? 😂 sorry for all of the questions xx
Jane's Patisserie
June 8, 2020 at 7:32 pmHey! Oh gosh I think the chips I use are about 1cm in size?! It’s a rough guess, but I know some can be really tiny! And just use a bit of extra flour for the raspberries xx
Clarrie
June 8, 2020 at 9:39 amHi Jane, can I make this as a triple layer cake if I double the ingredients? Similar to your Victoria sponge? (I made that a couple of days ago it was very tasty!)
Lucy
June 8, 2020 at 2:57 pmThis is what I am thinking of doing too! A triple layer raspberry and white chocolate cake and maybe turning it into a drip cake with a pink drip.
Also wondered if doubling the mixture would work too. I made the malteser drip cake on Friday and it was insanely good!
Elen
June 9, 2020 at 10:43 pmLovely
Elen
June 7, 2020 at 8:57 pmStunning recipe, positive comments from everyone in our house! Just wondering if I would need to alter the recipe at all as I’m hoping to make it like a Victoria sponge round type cake? Or will the same recipe just cooked in a round tin would be fine? Thanks Jane
Sinead
June 6, 2020 at 10:13 pmHey Jane could I make this as a tray bake ??
Jane's Patisserie
June 7, 2020 at 10:06 amYou could do! Follow the idea of my Eton mess Traybake for measurements x
Sophie
June 6, 2020 at 6:13 pmHow long does this cake last for? Xx
Jane's Patisserie
June 6, 2020 at 8:25 pm3-4 days! x
Sophie
June 6, 2020 at 10:45 pmOkay! Is it essential to keep it in the fridge? Really don’t want it to dry out x
Jane's Patisserie
June 7, 2020 at 8:32 amNo, you don’t have to!! The only cakes I generally recommend for the fridge is something topped with fresh cream or a cream cheese frosting for example! x
Alison McIntyre
June 5, 2020 at 7:50 pmHi, i’ve just made this cake and as expected everything sank 😔 Hopefully it still tastes nice though. This might be a stupid question but could i just turn it upside down and decorate the top? Lol
Jane's Patisserie
June 7, 2020 at 10:08 amAhh no! Maybe next time coat things in flour first! But otherwise, yes you can flip it over!!
Karen
May 26, 2020 at 3:31 pmI needed to cook it for an extra half an hour and it seems overdone on the top. Not sure why as I followed everything else to the letter. Hopefully it will be ok as it’s for a birthday tomorrow. It’s just cooling now…
Jane's Patisserie
May 30, 2020 at 4:48 pmYes, because of the increased timing it will over bake it somewhat! All ovens are different and can run at different temperatures (they can even be completely different to what you set it to) and that can cause some issues for cakes!
Jessica
May 25, 2020 at 3:57 amHi, I would like to cook this in a Bundt pan tomorrow, do I need to do double the recipe? Thanks! Looks delicious, can’t wait to try it!
Jane's Patisserie
May 25, 2020 at 9:19 amHey! This depends on your bundt pan – some would fit the recipe as it is now!
Abbi
May 24, 2020 at 2:50 pmLovely cake, will definitely be making this again! If I was to tweak it and use milk chocolate instead how much cocoa would I need to make a chocolate cake?
Jane's Patisserie
May 24, 2020 at 3:07 pmAhh yay! Amazing! I would take out 50g of flour, and use 50g of cocoa powder!! x
Chris
May 18, 2020 at 3:15 amThe was delicious but I was wondering if I can use less butter next time, I found it a bit too oily.
Jane's Patisserie
May 18, 2020 at 11:11 amGenerally the oily texture can actually come from the white chocolate rather than the butter! It may be better to just use the raspberries in the sponge, and then just decorate/top with the white chocolate!
Gillian robertson
September 24, 2020 at 8:14 pmCan you frezze this cake once baked ?
Jane's Patisserie
September 25, 2020 at 5:31 pmYes!
Isabella
May 17, 2020 at 8:14 pmPerfect ! I’m a beginner in baking but it came out so great! Amazing recipe
Jane's Patisserie
May 18, 2020 at 11:18 amSo glad you liked it!! x
Áine
May 17, 2020 at 5:41 pmAbsolutely delicious loaf cake, another hit just like the other recipes from here I’ve tried! The tip to coat the raspberries in a little flour and add most of them to the top of the mixture once it was in the loaf tin was a great one as it stopped them all sinking to the bottom. Had a few raspberries spare so chopped them up and put them through the butter cream which gave a lovely red and white marbled look (that tasted great too)
Can’t wait to try something new from the site next weekend x
Jane's Patisserie
May 18, 2020 at 11:21 amOooh yum!!! I’m so glad you liked it! xx
Racheal
May 16, 2020 at 6:19 pmEasy recipe to follow, looks fantastic and tastes amazing.
Harriet
May 12, 2020 at 5:15 pmAmazing recipe!! Think I need to coat the raspberries in flour and cut the chocolate chunks smaller next time like you said so it doesn’t sink 😂
Catriona Wojcik
May 8, 2020 at 5:44 pmRecipe is simple enough but I need to try again as need to bake for longer!
María José
May 8, 2020 at 12:16 amHi!! Looks very good ! Can I replace caster sugar with regular granulated sugar ?
Jane's Patisserie
May 8, 2020 at 9:54 amYou can certainly give it a go – I just prefer caster sugar for these sort of cakes!

May 7, 2020 at 6:17 pmCan this recipe be used in a cake tin or in cupcakes instead?

May 5, 2020 at 11:26 pmAmazing tasting cake, everything did sink to the bottom even though I coated with flour… oh well, will try again in two days once I’ve eaten this!
Jane's Patisserie
May 6, 2020 at 8:43 amTry using larger chunks of chocolate, and even larger raspberries if you can – and maybe coat them in flour, but sprinkle most over the top just before going in the oven. When things are folded through they can be further down already so if you struggle with sinking this may help!

May 5, 2020 at 7:59 pmI’ve made this in preparation for my birthday tomorrow. I haven’t tried it yet but it looks and smells incredible! I needed to add the whole milk to my icing; it resembled hard cottage cheese at first. But as soon as I added the milk it smoothed out perfectly. Can’t wait to tuck in tomorrow.

May 4, 2020 at 2:36 pmI made this at the weekend, it was lovely i really enjoyed it. Thank you for the wonderful recipe, I will definitely be making it again 🙂

May 4, 2020 at 1:52 pmThis was insanely delicious! My friend requested a raspberry and white chocolate cake as her birthday cake and I discovered this recipe as a result. A total knock out – super delicious and have had several requests for it since!

May 4, 2020 at 11:48 amTried this recipe the other day and it’s gone down a treat! Absolutely delicious 😍

May 4, 2020 at 10:42 amMade this delicious cake for my sisters birthday OMG it was a huge success she loved it, I have 2 other sisters will be making them one to . I used frozen raspberries as I put them in my cheesecakes and always have them thanks Jane.x

May 4, 2020 at 9:35 amAmazing
Amy
May 4, 2020 at 8:27 amThanks for the great recipe! Made this yesterday and it came out really moist and tasty. We have an aga so cooking times are always a bit off, so it was in the oven for about 75 mins in total. I chopped the raspberries in half and coated them in flour so they didn’t sink to the bottom. It did come out quite greasy but once it’s fully cooled this mostly goes away.

May 14, 2020 at 11:21 pmHi Jane, I loved this recipe and my whole family did! Only one problem, the second time I baked this, I used white chocolate chips (very small ones) in the cake mix and it seemed to collapse when I took it out of the tin 10 minutes after cooling and it was extremely greasy and soggy. Do you think this was because of the small chocolate chips? How can I make it stick together? Thank you!
Jane's Patisserie
May 15, 2020 at 9:25 amHey! Ahh yay! So yes sometimes really small chips will melt quickly, and then begin to sort of cook themselves (which can cause some greasiness!). However, a cake collapsing/being soggy is due to being underbaked and needing longer! xx
Sheena Sahota
May 3, 2020 at 9:40 pmMade this yummy cake today and oh my goddddd was it yum. Recipe so easy to follow for amateurs like me haha. My loaf did take way longer than stated but it was fine after about 90 minutes. Loved the frosting aswell, so scrumptious. Love your website and recipes, can’t wait to try more 😍😘 xxxxx
Hannah Winter
May 3, 2020 at 9:18 pmMade this cake and absolutely loved it! Will definitely make again! 😍
Amy
May 3, 2020 at 8:18 pmI’m a regular home baker and absolutely LOVE the simplicity of this recipe. White chocolate and raspberry are my favourite combo, and Jane’s recipe balances the two perfectly – total heaven!!
I couldn’t get my hands on any self raising flour so used 200g plain plus 1.5tsp of baking powder and it came out a treat. Also no issues with the cake being undercooked despite my rubbish fan-less oven.
Thanks so much Jane, can’t wait to give your other recipes a try! X
Stuart Bruton
May 3, 2020 at 7:46 pmAnother brilliant recipe. Also cured my fear of putting melted chocolate into buttercream, should always know Jane knows the correct quantities 😉
Mel
May 3, 2020 at 10:18 amMy cake won’t cook in the middle. This is my second attempt. I’ve made sure it’s the correct tin and I’ve no idea where I am going wrong. I’ve stuck some foil over the top and am leaving it in hoping it will still cook through. Any ideas?
Jane's Patisserie
May 3, 2020 at 12:27 pmSometimes loaf cakes/bundt cakes can take longer in some ovens – if you struggle it might be good to lower the temp by about 20C, and then bake for quite bit longer. Fruit cakes can take longer, but it will eventually bake!
Isolation2020
May 2, 2020 at 5:57 pmTastes nice but very greasy think the stalk wasnt wasnt best butter to use i find it so oily. The rasberrys also sank to the bottom so i think next time need to be coated in flour.
Jane's Patisserie
May 2, 2020 at 8:07 pmI always use real butter and prefer it, especially for buttercream anyway. Sometimes it can seem greasy as well from the chocolate chunks caramelising so it might be better to use larger chunks as well!
Fiona
April 29, 2020 at 5:27 pmAn instant hit in our house! Thank you!
Jane's Patisserie
April 29, 2020 at 7:19 pmAhh yay! Thank you!
Bethany Lee
April 22, 2020 at 12:29 pmHi. I’ve put the mixture ito the oven but I used a try approx 21cm by 25 cm in length and 4 cm deep instead of the loaf tin. should I have split the mixture in half and not put all of it in one tray and should I half the cooking time?
Christina
April 19, 2020 at 11:42 amLove how quick this recipe is! Had my 5 yr old asking for a white chocolate cake recently hard to find a recipe that’s not too dense!! Only thing I found is I had too much for my 2lb loaf tin so I’ve split it into two 7″ sandwich tins instead.
Emma
April 16, 2020 at 9:24 pmWith isolation I’ve been baking almost every day and I am loving your recipes. This cake came out great and I received rave reviews, super mosit and great flavour!
Jane's Patisserie
April 16, 2020 at 9:25 pmAhh yay! So glad it was a hit!

March 31, 2020 at 10:35 amHi Jane
I love all your recipes and always get so ma y compliments when I make them!
I can only get large eggs, would you recommend only using 3 large for this recipe? X
Jane's Patisserie
March 31, 2020 at 4:05 pmYes 3 large!
Jackie
February 25, 2020 at 1:35 amHi Jane,
Thanks for all your lovely recipes! A quick question – after you have creamed the butter and sugar, do you put all 3 eggs in along with the flour and then mix, or is it necessary to add them one at a time and then mix in the flour?
Jane's Patisserie
February 25, 2020 at 8:03 pmI add it all in at once as written!
Chris
December 31, 2019 at 12:48 pmHi Jane! Love your recipes! Thanks a lot for them! I’m just wondering could this be adapted for an 8” layer cake?
Thanks!
Jane's Patisserie
January 14, 2020 at 12:26 pmHiya! I have an 8″ version in my first ebook! x
Deborah
November 12, 2019 at 8:17 pmHey,
If preparing this the evening before to take into work the following day, would you propose to do the decoration in the morning to ensure it is still fresh and not solid from the night before?
Cheers.
Charlotte
November 10, 2019 at 4:05 pmHi Jane,
This cake is lovely I made it yesterday and it tasted great! However, the cake sponge itself I found was a bit dry/clumped together and wasn’t that wet/moist, as I’ve only ever baked 2 cakes in my life. How do I counter this problem, assuming I’m doing something wrong during mixing all the ingredients together? Or cooking it for too long perhaps? Love to hear back from you.
Thanks.
Jane's Patisserie
November 10, 2019 at 5:20 pmHiya! If it’s dry, it is just over baked! Best thing to do is to get an oven thermometer to make sure your oven is the correct temp, make sure you have your oven on the correct setting, and keep an eye on the bake a little earlier on! x
Abby
October 28, 2019 at 6:31 pmHi Jane, if I baked this for an event in 2 days, will this be ok or is best baked the day before?
Jane's Patisserie
October 28, 2019 at 6:48 pmIt would be fine for the two days – but fresher the better generally with cakes!! x
Sandy
October 24, 2019 at 9:47 pmEasy to make, and no issue with fruit sinking! So tasty.
Greer Minns
October 14, 2019 at 3:37 pmMade this last week as dessert for a lunch bbq. Some leftovers went into my husband’s work. I’m now making another one tomorrow for one of his colleague’s birthdays! They loved it!! I don’t eat cake so I can’t comment, but I always get compliments whenever I do one of your recipes!
I used frozen raspberries as I live in Dubai and they are soooooo expensive to buy fresh…. obviously I use fresh on the top!
Jane's Patisserie
October 15, 2019 at 9:16 amAwh that’s amazing! I’m so glad they all liked it!
Nadia Eaton
October 4, 2019 at 10:09 pmHi Jane,
Could I make this into a layered cake (8”)? Also if I wanted to make it gluten free would I just change the flour?
Thanks, Nadia
Sarah
October 3, 2019 at 7:54 pmHi Jane,
I am wondering if this would work with the stork block (I need to make the recipe dairy free). Could I use this for the icing too? I can get dairy free white chocolate too.
Thanks,
Sarah
Jane's Patisserie
October 4, 2019 at 10:46 amHiya! The sponge should work the same with the stork block, just probably make sure to coat your raspberries in flour just in case – and the frosting should work too, but it will be softer so harder to pipe! x
Annie
March 7, 2021 at 7:30 amHi, I made this cake last night and it needed an extra 20 minutes in the oven as it was still raw in the middle at 55mins. It now means that it is burnt on the outside. I covered it up with foil for the last 20mins but still burnt,have you got any advice as I followed the recipe exactly!
Thanks.
Lauren Crowley
October 2, 2019 at 7:22 amMade this lovely cake a few weeks ago, please don’t let the negative comments put you off making this as it is such a yummy and easy cake to bake! I will be making it again tomorrow for my mums birthday 🍰 x
Jane's Patisserie
October 2, 2019 at 8:41 amThank you so much!! So glad you liked it!! xx
Karen
September 30, 2019 at 1:37 pmHi Jane, this looks amazing!
I only have a 1lb loaf tin so assume I would just halve the ingredients, but do you know roughly how long I should cook it for? Many thanks 😊
Jane's Patisserie
September 30, 2019 at 6:46 pmI’m not 100% sure on the time I’m afraid! I would say try and have a look at 30 minutes or so?! And one of my readers made this into two 1lb tins so yes I would assume halving is correct!
Mandy
September 28, 2019 at 11:37 pmMade this today but so wet and soggy on the bottom. Not sure what I have done wrong
Jane's Patisserie
September 29, 2019 at 8:15 amThat means it probably wasn’t finished baking – next time give it more time in the oven! A good tip – when you think the cake is done, make sure to carefully ‘listen’ to the cake, if it’s making lots of bubbly sounds, it’s not finished baking.
Joanne
September 28, 2019 at 11:36 pmHi,
I made this cake tonight & I found it came out really greasy from the tin & lining paper. I used the correct amount of ingredients & it was cooked through. I’ll have to see what it’s like once cooled down, decorated and sliced.
Jane's Patisserie
September 29, 2019 at 8:10 amHow small was your chocolate? Sometimes if it’s too small and depending on brand it can melt into the cake and make it a little greasy on the outer, but it won’t affect the taste of the cake!
Andrea
September 16, 2019 at 10:58 amHi Jane, I think your creations are always beautiful and inspirational. I wanted to ask, could I use strawberries in this recipe instead? I accidentally picked up the freeze dried strawberries instead so I thought I’d ask? Thank you! Cannot wait to attempt this! Lots of love
Jane's Patisserie
September 16, 2019 at 12:23 pmThe freeze dried strawberries will still be perfectly okay to use with the raspberries in the sponge, I often use freeze dried strawberries on top – I personally find things with strawberries in can take a little longer to bake, but definitely give it a go! (I have not tried it in a loaf cake though!)
Ruth Machado
September 15, 2019 at 5:43 pmI made this today for my brothers birthday- went down a treat! Thanks Kane for another delicious recipe 🎉

Theresa
September 7, 2019 at 2:20 amThe recipe looks good, but I have never seen so many pictures of the baked product.
Way too many, especially since you only used a couple of different shots over and over again.
Jane's Patisserie
September 7, 2019 at 9:00 amI put the same amount of photos on a blog post, every time… and they are all different photos? So I’m not sure of the problem?
Diane Peterson
September 4, 2019 at 7:52 pmyour recipes are so interesting, but the amount of each item in recipe is hard for me to translate to cups, teaspoons, tablespoons, etc.
I think I will stop reading your recipes. I did try to figure amounts and think I did a pretty good job, but a challenge. Thanks
Jane's Patisserie
September 5, 2019 at 8:19 amI refuse to measure anything in cups or spoons, as it’s incredibly inaccurate.
Melis
February 18, 2020 at 3:31 pmIf it helps, my baked goods have only been improved when I measure by weight and a digital kitchen scale can be had at a range of prices.
Michelle Hurst
September 3, 2019 at 7:15 pmThank you for posting this Can’t wait to bake it. Jane do I chop the white chocolate to go in the cake mix, Or use chocolate chips?
Jane's Patisserie
September 3, 2019 at 9:26 pmUse either! x
Rhona Wilson
September 2, 2019 at 2:10 pmLooks lovely!
Do you chop the raspberries before incorporating them in the mix? Or just leave them whole?
Jane's Patisserie
September 2, 2019 at 3:54 pmJust leave them whole!
Amy Williams

Miriam
August 31, 2019 at 6:53 pmCan you use frozen raspberries for the cake .

August 31, 2019 at 4:03 pmCould I do this as a tray bake? If so what would the quantity of ingredients be please?
Jane's Patisserie
August 31, 2019 at 6:08 pmI will be posting a traybake version in the future. x
Josh
May 23, 2020 at 10:45 amAny tips on making the buttercream without a mixer? Thanks
Jane's Patisserie
May 23, 2020 at 5:03 pmMake sure your butter is at room temp – and mix as much as you can each stage. I would use a spatula! The aim is to get it to lighten and be fluffy at each stage!
Natalie Dawn
August 31, 2019 at 10:09 amI’m thinking a bit of lemon curd mixed in might be quite nice too?
Thanks for the recipe
Jane's Patisserie
August 31, 2019 at 1:14 pmIt’s up to you! I think it would be better on top.
Noor Fatima
August 31, 2019 at 9:13 amSubstitute for 200g selfraising flour please. 2 tsp baking powder?
Jane's Patisserie
August 31, 2019 at 9:30 amDo you mean with plain flour? I would use 1.5tsp.
Liah
December 12, 2020 at 3:51 pmHi Jane,
I was wondering if I could turn this cake into a swiss roll? Do you think it will work? If so, please advise on the measurements or how long to bake it for. Thanks in advance!! 🙂
Jane's Patisserie
December 12, 2020 at 5:05 pmNot this recipe – I would say you need to look for a Swiss roll sponge recipe, but then fill it with the topping from this cake.
Kate
August 31, 2019 at 8:10 amThis White Chocolate and Raspberry Loaf cake looks delicious. I have a number of cakes to make for next weekend this has just been added to the list. Do you think I could make this weekend and freeze Undecorated ?
Jane's Patisserie
August 31, 2019 at 9:29 amThank you! And I’m sure you can!
