• 150g white chocolate chips or chunks

For the Frosting:

• 150g unsalted butter (softened)

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 160ºC (fan) and line a 9×13” traybake tin with baking paper.

2. Prepare the Batter: In a mixing bowl, beat together the unsalted butter and caster sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.

3. Mix in Wet Ingredients: Add the medium eggs to the butter-sugar mix and combine until smooth. Gradually incorporate the self-raising flour.

4. Incorporate Raspberries and Chocolate: Gently fold in most of the raspberries and white chocolate chips. Tip: Coat the raspberries in a little extra flour to help prevent sinking!

5. Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared tin. Top with the remaining raspberries and white chocolate chips. Bake for 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

6. Cool: Once baked, allow the cake to cool completely in the tin.

7. Prepare the Frosting: In a bowl, beat the softened butter until smooth. Gradually mix in the icing sugar, followed by the melted white chocolate.

8. Decorate: Spread the frosting over the cooled sponge. Garnish with remaining fresh raspberries, white chocolate chips, and optional freeze-dried raspberries for extra flair.
