Best White Chocolate Cake image

Best white chocolate cake ever! It is pretty dense, kind of like a pound cake. Great with a mascarpone cheese frosting, fresh raspberries, and/or lemon curd.

Time 1h30m

Yield 14

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 ounces good quality white chocolate
2 ⅔ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup whipping cream
½ cup milk
3 tablespoons milk
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups white sugar, divided
½ cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
4 large eggs, separated, divided

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Butter two 10-inch cake pans and line the bottoms with parchment paper. Chop chocolate.
  • Sift flour, baking powder, and salt together into a medium bowl.
  • Combine chopped chocolate with 1/2 cup cream in a heavy, medium saucepan over low heat; stir until chocolate melts and mixture is smooth. Mix in remaining 1/2 cup cream, 1/2 cup plus 3 tablespoons milk, and vanilla. Remove from the heat.
  • Beat 1 1/2 cups sugar and butter in a large bowl with an electric mixer until fluffy. Beat in egg yolks. Stir in dry ingredients alternately with white chocolate mixture.
  • Using an electric mixer fitted with clean, dry beaters, beat egg whites in a medium bowl until soft peaks form. Gradually beat in remaining 1/2 cup sugar. Continue beating until stiff, but not dry.
  • Fold egg whites into the cake batter in two additions. Divide batter among the prepared cake pans.
  • Bake in the oven until a toothpick inserted into the centers comes out clean, about 35 minutes. Cool in the cake pans for 15 minutes. Turn cakes out onto a wire rack, peel off parchment paper, and let cool completely, about 15 more minutes.
