Ingredients

• 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.75 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 2 cups granulated sugar
• 4 eggs, large
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1.25 cups milk
• 4 ounces white chocolate, melted and cooled
• 0.5 cup white chocolate chips (optional)
• 8 ounces cream cheese, softened (for frosting)
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter, softened (for frosting)
• 3 cups powdered sugar (for frosting)
• 3 ounces white chocolate, melted (for frosting)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for frosting)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans or line them with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in three additions, alternating with the milk, and beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.

Step 6

Fold in the melted and cooled white chocolate. If desired, also fold in the white chocolate chips for extra texture.

Step 7

Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans. Smooth the tops with a spatula.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cakes comes out clean.

Step 9

Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

To make the frosting, beat the softened cream cheese and butter together in a large bowl until smooth and creamy.

Step 11

Gradually add the powdered sugar and continue to beat until well combined.

Step 12

Mix in the melted white chocolate and vanilla extract, beating until fluffy and smooth.

Step 13

Once the cakes are completely cool, spread a generous layer of frosting on top of one cake layer. Place the second cake layer on top and frost the top and sides of the cake.

Step 14

Optional: Decorate with additional white chocolate shavings or white chocolate chips.

Step 15

Refrigerate the cake for at least 30 minutes before serving. Enjoy your creamy white chocolate cake!
