Ingredients

Scale
  • For the Cake:
    • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
    • 1 ½ tsp baking powder
    • ½ tsp baking soda
    • ½ tsp salt
    • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
    • 1 ¾ cups sugar
    • 4 large eggs
    • 1 tsp vanilla extract
    • ¾ cup milk
    • ½ cup melted white chocolate
    • ½ cup strawberry jam or fresh strawberry puree
  • For the White Chocolate Frosting:
    • 1 cup white chocolate chips, melted
    • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
    • 4 cups powdered sugar
    • 2 tbsp heavy cream
    • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • For Garnish:
    • Fresh strawberries
    • White chocolate shavings

Instructions

  1. For the Cake:
    Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
    In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
    In a large bowl, beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
    Gradually add the flour mixture, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the flour mixture.
    Fold in the melted white chocolate.
    Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans. Spoon dollops of strawberry jam or puree onto the batter and use a knife to swirl it through, creating a marbled effect.
    Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
  2. For the White Chocolate Frosting:
    In a large bowl, beat the softened butter until creamy. Gradually add the powdered sugar and melted white chocolate, mixing on low speed.
    Add the heavy cream and vanilla extract, and beat until smooth and fluffy.
  3. Assemble the Cake:
    Once the cakes have cooled, spread a layer of frosting over the top of the first cake. Place the second layer on top and frost the entire cake.
    Garnish with fresh strawberries and white chocolate shavings.

Notes

  • For extra strawberry flavor, add a layer of strawberry jam between the cake layers before frosting.
  • Be sure to allow the white chocolate to cool slightly before folding it into the cake batter.
