Summer Raspberry Cake with Pistachio & White Chocolate

Nothing beats the combination of fresh fruit, creamy chocolate and the luxurious crunch of pistachio. This cake is the ultimate bake for a sunny afternoon. Thanks to the addition of Greek yoghurt, it has an incredibly soft, almost velvety texture that is perfectly balanced by the bright, tangy raspberries.

Equipment

  • Cake tin (23x13 cm)
  • Mixing bowls
  • Spatula

Ingredients

  • 240 g flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • Pinch of salt
  • 160 g unsalted butter (at room temperature)
  • 180 g caster sugar
  • 2 eggs (large)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 185 g whole milk
  • 65 g Greek yoghurt
  • 150 g fresh raspberries
  • 100 g good-quality white chocolate
  • 1 tsp neutral oil (such as sunflower oil, for shine)
  • A handful of unsalted pistachios, roughly chopped
  • Extra raspberries (optional, to garnish)

Summer Raspberry Cake with Pistachio & White Chocolate

    1. Preparation: Preheat the oven to 175°C. Grease a cake tin of approximately 23 × 13 cm with butter, or line it with baking paper for a neat finish.
    2. Dry ingredients: In a medium-sized bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Set aside.
    3. Creaming: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter with the sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract, milk and Greek yoghurt.
      Tip: Don't worry if the batter looks a little curdled at this stage — it will come together once the flour is added!
    4. Combining: Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture. Use a spatula to gently fold everything together.
    5. Important: Don't overmix! As soon as the flour is just incorporated, stop stirring. This keeps the cake light and airy.
    6. The finishing touch: Using a spatula, gently fold in the raspberries at the very end. Pour the batter into the cake tin and smooth the top.
    7. Baking: Bake the cake for 50 to 60 minutes until golden brown. Check doneness with a skewer: if it comes out clean, the cake is ready. Leave the cake to cool completely on a wire rack before decorating.

    Glaze & Decoration: Melt the white chocolate with the oil au bain-marie or in the microwave (stirring every 20 seconds). Drizzle the glaze generously over the cooled cake. Immediately scatter the chopped pistachios on top for that irresistible crunch and beautiful green colour.

Serving suggestion

Serve the cake with an extra dollop of Greek yoghurt or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a truly indulgent dessert. Pair it with a refreshing iced tea with fresh mint.

Enjoy!
