Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 34 cups granulated sugar
- 2 34 cups all-purpose flour
Chocolate and Cream Ingredients:
- 12 oz white chocolate, chopped
- 12 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
Seasoning and Flavoring Ingredients:
- 2 12 teaspoons baking powder
- 12 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3 12 cups powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare cake pans by coating with butter and lining with parchment paper at 350F (175C) to ensure easy cake release.
- Sift together flour, baking powder, and salt in a separate mixing vessel to eliminate potential lumps and create uniform dry ingredients.
- Whip butter and sugar in a spacious mixing bowl until achieving a pale, airy texture, incorporating eggs individually to maintain smooth emulsion and integrate vanilla extract.
- Gently fold dry ingredients into butter mixture, alternating with milk in three incremental stages, mixing until batter reaches a silky, homogeneous consistency.
- Distribute cake batter evenly across three round pans, ensuring balanced volume and uniform depth for consistent baking.
- Bake layers in preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, rotating midway to promote even browning and checking doneness with a wooden skewer.
- Remove cakes from oven and allow complete cooling on wire racks, which prevents condensation and maintains structural integrity.
- Once cooled, level cake layers if necessary to create a stable, even surface for decorating and assembling the final elegant white chocolate drip cake.
Notes
- Ensure butter and eggs are at room temperature for smoother, more even cake batter consistency.
- Sift dry ingredients to prevent lumps and create a lighter, airier cake texture.
- Use white chocolate with at least 30% cocoa butter for the most luxurious drip effect and rich flavor.
- Adjust baking time based on your oven’s performance, checking doneness with a toothpick inserted in the center.
