    How to Make this Loaf Cake

    To make this Raspberry and White Chocolate Loaf Cake you will first preheat your oven to 350 F and prepare a 4.5 x 8.5 loaf pan. Then, blend the dry ingredients in one mixing bowl, and the wet ingredients in a larger bowl.

    Add the dry ingredient mixture in portions to the bowl of wet ingredients. Stir in the white chocolate chips. Last, using a spatula, fold in the fresh raspberries so that you don't break them up or mash them too much.

    Step 1. Make the Cake Batter

    Raspberries folded into cake batter.

    After mixing the batter and stirring in the white chocolate chips, fold in the raspberries. Reserve a few raspberries for garnishing.

    cake batter poured into a loaf pan.

    Spoon the thick batter into a 4.5 x 8.5 loaf pan that you have previously sprayed with non stick spray. Bake at 350 F for 55 to 60 minutes.

    Full ingredient amounts and preparation instructions are in the printable recipe card at the bottom of this post.

    Step 2. Make the Cake Glaze Icing

    bowls of icing ingredients, powdered sugar, cream, and fresh raspberries.

    While your loaf cake is baking, prepare the icing glaze.

    Step 3. Glaze the Loaf Cake

    Serving Suggestions

    This lovely loaf cake is easy to slice up, and is a marvelous addition to a Mother's Day tea or a Valentine treat. Since raspberries are generally always in the produce department, it can even be an any day cake! It would be a perfect ending to a dinner of Sous Vide Ribeye steak!

    For other delicious quick loaf cakes, see our Maui Banana Nut Bread, and our Pumpkin Cream Cheese Loaf cake.

    Variations

    We've got a few suggestions for great variations on this loaf cake. Just change the fruit and the flavor of the chips! Here are three variations:

    • Blackberry & White Chocolate Loaf Cake - swap the raspberries for blackberries.
    • Strawberry & Chocolate Loaf Cake - instead of raspberries, dice up some strawberries and use chocolate chips.
    • Banana & Chocolate Loaf Cake - cube up one banana and use either dark or milk chocolate chips.

    Equipment

    You want the right equipment for the job when baking. That is what helps get the best results. Below are some of the tools I used to make this loaf cake.

    • 4.5 x 8.5 Loaf Cake Pan

    Storage

    This Raspberry and White Chocolate Loaf Cake freezes well, just wrap it up in aluminum foil whole, or slice it and cover with plastic wrap. Freeze up to 6 months.

    Tips for Success

    • To keep your blackberries from sinking to the bottom of the loaf pan, coat them in 1  tablespoons of flour.
    • If you glaze when the cake is still warm, the glaze will be more translucent and sink into the cake. You can drizzle instead of glaze also.
    • If raspberries are not available, you can also use blackberries.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Can I double this recipe?

    You can, but I would still split the batter into two bowl for folding in the berries, that way they won't get smashed.

    Food Safety

    • Do not use the same utensils on cooked food, that previously touched raw meat
    • Wash hands after touching raw meat
    • Don't leave food sitting out at room temperature for extended periods
    • Never leave cooking food unattended
    • Use oils with high smoking point to avoid harmful compounds
    • Always have good ventilation when using a gas stove
