Method
 

Raspberry Filling
  1. In a small saucepan, combine 2 cups of raspberries, 1 cup of granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, 2 teaspoons of lemon zest, and 1/4 cup of water. Simmer over medium heat for 10 minutes. Remove from heat, strain mixture, whisk in cornstarch slurry, and refrigerate until thickened.
Bake Cake Layers
  1. Preheat oven to 325°F. Grease and line two 9-inch cake pans. Cream 1 cup of unsalted butter and 1 1/4 cups of granulated sugar until fluffy. Add in 5 egg whites, alternating with 2 cups of cake flour and 1 cup of sour cream. Pour batter into pans and bake for 40-42 minutes.
Make Simple Syrup
  1. Combine 1/2 cup of granulated sugar and 1/2 cup of water in a saucepan. Boil until sugar is dissolved. Allow to cool.
Whip White Chocolate Buttercream
  1. Beat 1 cup of unsalted butter until creamy. Gradually mix in lemon zest and juice, then add 4 cups of powdered sugar and 1/4 cup of heavy cream. Fold in melted white chocolate chips.
Assemble the Cake
  1. Once cake layers are cool, brush each with simple syrup. Frost first layer with buttercream, add raspberry filling, and top with second layer. Frost top and sides with remaining buttercream.
Final Touches
  1. Chill assembled cake for at least 30 minutes. Decorate with fresh raspberries, white chocolate shavings, or powdered sugar. Slice and serve.
