Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 4 pieces eggs, large
- 4 ounces white chocolate, melted
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup whole milk
- 1.5 cups powdered sugar
- 3 tablespoons heavy cream
- 2 ounces white chocolate, melted (for icing)
- 0.5 teaspoon pure vanilla extract (for icing)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Grease and flour a standard loaf pan, or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, using a hand mixer or stand mixer, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
Slowly mix in the melted white chocolate and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients, mixing just until combined. Do not overmix.
Pour the batter evenly into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 60-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before icing.
To make the icing, whisk together the powdered sugar, heavy cream, melted white chocolate, and vanilla extract in a medium bowl until smooth. If the icing is too thick, add a tiny splash of heavy cream; if too thin, add more powdered sugar.
Once the cake is completely cool, drizzle the white chocolate icing evenly over the top, allowing it to drip down the sides.
Slice and serve the cake. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
