Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup hot water

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
  2. In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk. Mix until just combined.
  5. In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate chips in 20-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth. Allow it to cool slightly.
  6. Fold the melted white chocolate into the cake batter until well incorporated.
  7. Pour the hot water into the batter and stir until smooth. The batter will be thin, and that's okay.
  8. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans. Smooth the tops with a spatula.
  9. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Remove the cakes from the oven and let them cool in the pans for 10 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  11. Once the cakes have cooled, you can frost and decorate them as desired. Enjoy a slice of this indulgent Swiss White Chocolate Cake!
