Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Unsalted butter
- 2 cups Granulated sugar
- 4 pieces Large eggs
- 1.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 8 ounces White chocolate, melted and slightly cooled
- 0.5 cup Whole milk
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan. Lightly dust the pan with flour and set it aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set the dry ingredients aside.
In a large mixing bowl, using a hand or stand mixer, cream the butter and granulated sugar together on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the eggs one at a time to the butter and sugar mixture, beating well after each addition. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
Mix in the vanilla extract and melted white chocolate until fully incorporated.
Turn the mixer to low speed and alternately add the dry ingredients and milk to the wet ingredients in three additions, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix just until combined, being careful not to overmix.
Pour the batter evenly into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
Optional: Dust the top with powdered sugar or drizzle with additional melted white chocolate for decoration before serving.
