For the Glaze:

Instructions
- Prepare the Cake:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in vanilla extract.
- Stir in sour cream and milk until combined.
- Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
- Gently fold in raspberries and white chocolate chips, being careful not to overmix.
- Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
- Bake for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Prepare the Glaze:
- In a small saucepan, melt white chocolate chips and heavy cream over low heat, stirring constantly until smooth.
- Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cake.
- Garnish:
- Garnish with fresh raspberries and serve.
Notes
- Toss raspberries in a bit of flour to prevent sinking in the batter.
- The cake can be enjoyed plain if you prefer to skip the glaze.
- Substitute sour cream with Greek yogurt or buttermilk for a similar result.
- For extra brightness, add lemon zest to the batter.
