# Ingredients:

01 -
¼ cup granulated sugar
02 -
2 tablespoons orange juice
03 -
½ teaspoon freshly grated lemon zest
04 -
1½ cups ripe raspberries
05 -
2 tablespoons cornstarch
06 -
1 tablespoon water
→ Cake Mixture
07 -
½ teaspoon table salt
08 -
1 tablespoon lemon zest
09 -
1¾ cups plain all-purpose flour
10 -
4 large eggs
11 -
1¼ cups white sugar
12 -
½ teaspoon baking powder
13 -
1¾ teaspoons pure vanilla extract
14 -
½ cup softened unsalted butter
15 -
4 ounces room-temperature cream cheese
→ White Chocolate Drizzle
16 -
2½ ounces white chocolate, chopped (around ½ cup)
# Steps:
01 -
Mix orange juice, water, and sugar in a pan. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then lower heat and stir until the sugar melts. Add raspberries and cornstarch, stirring constantly for 6-8 minutes until it's thick. Set it aside to cool off.
02 -
Preheat the oven to 325°F. Coat a 9x5 inch loaf pan with grease and line it with parchment paper. In another bowl, mix together the flour, salt, and baking powder.
03 -
Beat the butter and cream cheese until smooth. Toss in the sugar and keep beating till it's fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, followed by lemon zest and vanilla. Gradually fold in the dry ingredients just until they're combined.
04 -
Scoop half of the batter into your prepared pan, spread the raspberry mixture over it, and top it off with the rest of the batter. Bake for 55-65 minutes, inserting a toothpick to check—it should come out nearly clean.
05 -
Let the cake sit in the pan for 10 minutes, then take it out and place it on a rack until it's totally cooled off.
06 -
Heat the white chocolate in the microwave, stirring every 15 seconds until it's fully melted. Drizzle it, or use a spatula to spread, over the top of the cooled cake.
