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