Ingredients
  

For the White Cake:

  • 12 oz white chocolate chopped
  • 3 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 ¼ cups granulated sugar
  • ¾ cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1 ½ cups whole milk
  • ¾ cup vegetable oil
  • 2 ½ tsp baking powder
  • ¾ tsp baking soda
  • 1 ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • ¾ tsp salt
  • 6 large egg whites

For the Chocolate Frosting:

  • 18 oz white chocolate chopped
  • 1 ½ cups unsalted butter softened
  • 4 ½ cups powdered sugar
  • ¾ cup whole milk
  • 1 ½ tsp vanilla extract

Instructions
 

Step 1: Prepare the Cake Batter

  • Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 10-inch round cake pans.
  • Melt White Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the 12 oz of chopped white chocolate in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Let it cool slightly.
  • Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  • Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy (about 3-4 minutes).
  • Add Egg Whites: Gradually add the egg whites, mixing well after each addition.
  • Combine Ingredients: Stir in the melted white chocolate and vanilla extract. Then, alternately add the dry mixture and milk, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Mix until just combined.

Step 2: Bake the Cakes

  • Pour Batter: Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans.
  • Bake: Bake for 30-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Cool: Remove from the oven and let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes. Transfer to wire racks to cool completely.

Step 3: Make the Chocolate Frosting

  • Melt White Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the 18 oz of chopped white chocolate in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Allow to cool slightly.
  • Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, beat the softened butter until creamy. Gradually add the powdered sugar and milk, mixing until smooth. Stir in the melted white chocolate and vanilla extract.

Step 4: Assemble the Cake

  • Layer the Cakes: Place one cake layer on a serving plate. Spread a layer of chocolate frosting on top.
  • Add the Second Layer: Place the second cake layer on top and frost the top and sides of the cake.
  • Decorate: Optionally, decorate with chocolate shavings or sprinkles.

Notes

For a richer flavor, you can use dark chocolate cocoa powder in the frosting. If you prefer a sweeter cake, you can increase the sugar in the cake batter.
