ingredients

You can find a full list of ingredients and quantities needed on the recipe card at the bottom of this page. I’ve added a few specific notes below:

• raspberries – I like to use fresh berries or you can use frozen. Allow them to thaw a little, then toss in a few teaspoons of flour before adding to the flour mixture.
• white chocolate – high quality white chocolate cut into chunks is what I like to use in this recipe. You can also use white chocolate chips and they’re equally tasty.
• eggs – large eggs at room temperature. Take them out of the fridge 30 to 60 minutes before you start the recipe.
• orange juice – good quality store-bought orange juice or freshly squeezed orange juice is perfect for this recipe.

Can I use frozen raspberries in this raspberry loaf?

Yes! If using frozen raspberries, toss them in a small bowl with a few teaspoons of flour.

How to make white chocolate raspberry loaf cake – step by step instructions

No need to use an electric mixer! This recipe can be made entirely by hand with just a few simple steps.

STEP ONE – Grease a standard loaf tin and set aside.Alternatively, line a loaf pan with parchment paper. Preheat oven to 350°F.

STEP TWO – In a large mixing bowl combine all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda and sugar.

STEP THREE – If using frozen raspberries, toss them in a small bowl with a few teaspoons of flour. If using fresh berries, add them to the dry ingredients and stir gently just until they are mixed in.

STEP FOUR – In a large bowl, whisk egg, then add in melted butter and orange juice.

STEP FIVE – Add dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir just until combined, stirring gently to avoid crushing the raspberries. Stir in white chocolate.

STEP SIX – Transfer cake batter to prepared loaf pan. Bake in 350°F oven for 45 to 50 minutes until a cake tested inserted into the centre comes out clean.

STEP SEVEN – Remove from oven and cool in loaf pan for 5 minutes, then remove from loaf pan and turn out onto a wire cooling rack.

Make the White Chocolate Glaze:

STEP EIGHT – Melt white chocolate in microwave, stirring every 30 seconds. Depending on the strength of your microwave, this should take less than one minute.

STEP NINE – Drizzle melted chocolate over loaf. Allow to set 30 minutes before serving.

storage instructions

Wrap cooled loaf in plastic wrap or store in airtight container at room temperature for a few days.

Can i freeze white chocolate raspberry loaf cake?

Yes you can freeze white chocolate raspberry loaf cake. Wrap the cooled loaf in plastic wrap, followed by aluminum foil. Freeze for up to two months. Thaw completely at room temperature before serving.

variations

I enjoyed this recipe without vanilla extract but tested it with one teaspoon and it was really good too and you could taste the vanilla combined with the white chocolate flavours quite nicely.

For a change, use dark chocolate chips/dark chocolate chunks and drizzle dark chocolate on top.
