Easy Recipes : Simple White Chocolate Cake With White Chocolate Buttercream Frosting

It’s been a really exciting week for the Culinary Jumble! My original intentions for the blog were just to share some of my own recipes and it started as a spur of the moment idea when I decided to take a picture of one of my apple pies. As the blog is approaching its first year anniversary, it is amazing to think that I have posted 170 different recipes and have a backlog of around the same number waiting to be published!

Firstly, I have been approached by Homify to write a sponsored post for them – I am a freelance writer and it was so much fun to incorporate my job with the blog (look out for it next week!). I have also been contacted by the After Eight team at Nestle asking my permission to re-create my White Chocolate and After Eight Mousse. All I can say is wow. I love baking and this blog brings me more enjoyment than I ever thought possible – it feels wonderful to be appreciated and acknowledged.

Ingredients

• Cake:
• 60g (½ cup) white chocolate (chopped)
• 85g (1/3 cup) butter (softened)
• 150g (3/4 cup) sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla sugar
• 220g plain (all-purpose flour)
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• pinch of salt
• 150ml (2/3 cup) milk
• Frosting:
• 40g (1/3 cup) white chocolate (chopped)
• 50g butter (softened)
• 150g (1½ cups) icing (confectioners’) sugar

Instructions

1. Pre-heat the oven to 175°C (350ºF) and prepare a cake tin (I used a rectangle one, slightly larger than 8″ x 8″).
2. For the cake: melt the chocolate and then set to one side.
3. Using a mixer or electric whisk, beat the sugar and butter until light and fluffy. Add in the eggs one at a time followed by the melted chocolate.
4. In a separate bowl, mix the dry ingredients together. Then, alternating the dry ingredients with the milk, add to the wet ingredients until the batter is nice and smooth.
