– 4 oz white chocolate, melted and cooled slightly

– 1 cup sour cream, at room temperature
– 1/2 cup whole milk, at room temperature
– 1 cup seedless raspberry jam
– 6 ounces white chocolate, chopped
– 1/2 cup heavy cream
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F. Generously grease a 10-cup Bundt pan with non-stick baking spray, making sure to coat every crevice to prevent sticking.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon salt until fully combined.
3. In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer on medium speed to beat 1 cup softened unsalted butter and 1 3/4 cups granulated sugar together for 3–4 minutes, until light and fluffy.
4. Add 4 large eggs one at a time to the butter mixture, beating well after each addition until fully incorporated. Mix in 2 teaspoons vanilla extract.
5. Tip: Use room-temperature ingredients here to ensure the batter mixes smoothly without curdling.

7. Pour half of the batter into the prepared Bundt pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.
8. Dollop 1 cup seedless raspberry jam in spoonfuls over the batter layer, then use a knife to gently swirl it into the batter without overmixing.

14. Invert the cooled cake onto a serving plate. Drizzle the warm white chocolate glaze evenly over the top, allowing it to drip down the sides.
Enjoy every bite of this cake—it’s incredibly moist with a tender crumb, thanks to the sour cream, and the raspberry swirl adds a bright, fruity contrast to the rich white chocolate.
