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.

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.
