12. White Chocolate and Raspberry Loaf Cake
I've chosen to feature two different white chocolate and raspberry loaf cakes in this recipe collection, because while both offer the flavors of raspberry and white chocolate, the two cakes themselves are actually quite different.

The flavors in this are just lovely, with tart raspberries that balance out the creamy white chocolate perfectly. Thankfully, this recipe is easy enough to make for a weeknight dessert, or after-school snack. Top it with a sweet and simple glaze, a few fresh berries, and it's ready for the table!
