Description

This easy white chocolate confetti cake is perfect for birthdays and holidays!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 oz. white chocolate (I used white chocolate chips since I didn't have a baking chocolate bar on hand)
  • 1.5 cups flour
  • 1/2 cup + 1 Tbsp. sugar
  • 2.5 tsp. baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 5 Tbsp. unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 2 egg whites
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup colored sprinkles
  • 1 recipe vanilla buttercream frosting

Instructions

  1. Melt white chocolate over a double boiler and set aside.
  2. Mix flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt together in a large bowl or stand mixer.
  3. Add room temperature butter to dry ingredients and beat to incorporate.
  4. Add 1/4 cup of milk to the mixture and mix to incorporate.
  5. In a separate dish, whisk egg whites and vanilla into remaining 1/4 cup milk.
  6. Add milk/egg/vanilla mixture to batter in 3 batches, mixing to incorporate between each addition.
  7. Add melted white chocolate and sprinkles to batter and mix to incorporate.
  8. Pour batter into greased and floured cake pan (I used two 6-inch rounds) or cupcake liners.
  9. Bake at 350 for 25-35 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean.
  10. Serve with vanilla buttercream frosting.
