This classic vanilla cake filled with silky cream icing and topped with white chocolate shavings and cherries is the ultimate in sweet seduction. Four layers of deliciousness is what you will be whipping up…The perfect table show stopper for a high tea, birthday, anniversary, or any celebration.
Follow this failproof recipe and you will have a vanilla cake that is moist, fluffy, flavourful, perfectly sweet, and most importantly, EASY to make.
If you want to go the extra mile and top your cake with white chocolate shavings instead of chocolate pieces, make your shavings by using a vegetable peeler and a block of white chocolate. Chill the shavings before adding them to the cake so they would be less fragile to handle. The cherries on top provide a festive pop of colour and complements the creamy, dreamy taste of the icing.
CHEF’S TIPS:
Don’t overmix once you add the flour. Mix on low until the flour is just incorporated. Overmixing can cause dense but also fragile and crumbly cakes.
Cool your cakes in the pans for 10 minutes. Any more and the sugars will start to set and the cakes will stick to the pans, any less and the cakes will be too fragile and might break when you’re turning them out
Cool cakes completely before frosting, and just like that your Vanilla Cream White Chocolate Cake
