Ingredients

• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 3 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup whole milk
• 1.5 cups white chocolate chips
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
• 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)
• 4 leaves mint leaves (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease two 8-inch round cake pans. Line the bottoms with parchment paper for easy removal.

Step 2

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

Step 3

In a large bowl, use a hand or stand mixer to cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Alternate adding the dry ingredients and milk to the butter mixture, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined; do not overmix.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Bake for 22-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool the cakes in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 8

While the cakes are cooling, prepare the white chocolate ganache. Heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until it just begins to simmer. Do not boil.

Step 9

Remove the cream from heat and pour it over the white chocolate chips in a heat-proof bowl. Let it sit for 5 minutes, then stir until smooth and glossy. Allow the ganache to cool to room temperature and then refrigerate until thickened, about 30 minutes.

Step 10

Once the cakes are completely cool, place one layer on a serving plate or cake stand. Spread a generous layer of the ganache over the top, then arrange half of the sliced strawberries in an even layer.

Step 11

Place the second cake layer on top and repeat with ganache and the remaining strawberries.

Step 12

Dust the top of the torte with powdered sugar and garnish with mint leaves, if desired.

Step 13

Chill the torte in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the layers to set.

Step 14

Slice and serve. Enjoy your White Chocolate Strawberry Torte!
