Ingredients
Scale
- For the White Chocolate Cake:
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 4 oz white chocolate, melted
- For the Strawberry Swirl:
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and chopped
- 2 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- For the White Chocolate Glaze (Optional):
- 4 oz white chocolate, chopped
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
Instructions
- Prepare the Strawberry Swirl:
- In a small saucepan, cook the chopped strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice over medium heat until the strawberries break down and the mixture thickens (about 5-7 minutes).
- Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
- Make the White Chocolate Cake:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan or line with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- Mix in the melted white chocolate.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
- Create the Swirl:
- Pour half of the cake batter into the prepared pan. Spoon dollops of the strawberry sauce over the batter, then gently swirl it with a knife or toothpick.
- Pour the remaining cake batter on top and repeat with more strawberry sauce, swirling it for a marble effect.
- Bake the Cake:
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Make the White Chocolate Glaze (Optional):
- Heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan until it begins to simmer.
- Pour the hot cream over the chopped white chocolate in a bowl and let sit for 1 minute. Stir until smooth.
- Pour the glaze over the cooled cake, allowing it to drip down the sides.
- Serve and Enjoy:
- Slice and serve the Strawberry Swirled White Chocolate Cake. Store leftovers in an airtight container.
Notes
- If you prefer a stronger strawberry flavor, add extra strawberry sauce between layers.
- For best results, use high-quality white chocolate.
- You can also garnish with fresh strawberries on top of the cake for a beautiful presentation.
