Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.33 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.25 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.25 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.125 teaspoons Salt
- 1.5 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 1 large Egg white
- 0.25 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1.5 tablespoons White chocolate, melted
- 0.25 cups Heavy cream
- 1 tablespoons Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoons White chocolate, grated (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease and flour two 4-inch round cake pans. Alternatively, you can use ramekins if smaller pans aren't available.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined.
In a separate small bowl, whisk the melted butter, milk, egg white, vanilla extract, and melted white chocolate until smooth.
Gradually add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to ensure the cake stays light and fluffy.
Divide the batter equally between the two prepared cake pans or ramekins. Smooth the tops with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18–20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean.
Let the cakes cool for 10 minutes in the pans, then carefully turn them out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
In a chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream and powdered sugar with a hand mixer or whisk until stiff peaks form. This will be your frosting.
Once the cakes are completely cool, place one layer on a serving plate and spread a layer of whipped cream frosting on top.
Place the second cake layer on top and cover the entire cake with the remaining frosting, smooth or rustic as desired.
Optional: Sprinkle the grated white chocolate over the top for an elegant garnish.
Refrigerate the cake for 15 minutes to let the frosting set, or serve immediately. Enjoy your White Chocolate Layer Cake for Two!
