Recipe type: Dessert
Cuisine: American
Serves: 8
Ingredients
- 6 ounces white chocolate, for garnish
- 1 cup butter, unsalted
- 1 cup plus 3 teaspoons sugar, granulated
- 1½ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ cups plus 3 teaspoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 4 large eggs
- ½ pint heavy cream
- 10½ ounces semisweet chocolate
Instructions
- Finely grate white chocolate onto a plate using a vegetable peeler or grater. Chill until needed. Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Grease the base of two 8-inch round cake pans; line with parchment paper. Combine butter, sugar, flour, cocoa, baking powder, salt and eggs in a large bowl. Using an electric mixer set on medium, beat until smooth. Continue beating until increased in volume, about 2 minutes longer. Divide batter between pans.
- Bakes cakes until a toothpick inserted in centers comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes. Leave cakes in pans to cool for 1 minute, and then turn onto a wire rack. Peel off lining paper; let cool.
- Meanwhile heat heavy cream just to a boil. Break chocolate into pieces; add to cream and stir until melted. Let it cool and chill for 30 minutes, then whisk until thickened to spreadable consistency.
- Use a third of chocolate frosting to sandwich cakes. Spread the remainder over the whole cake. Sprinkle reserved grated white chocolate to garnish.
Notes
GREAT IDEA!
For a super light cake, be sure to beat the cake mixture thoroughly to introduce plenty of air into it, encouraging the cake to rise.
