- Melt the White Chocolate:
- Melt the white chocolate in the same way as for the cake, then let it cool slightly.
- Beat the Butter:
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth and creamy.
- Add the Melted White Chocolate:
- Once the white chocolate has cooled slightly, add it to the butter and beat until combined.
- Add Powdered Sugar and Vanilla:
- Gradually add powdered sugar, one cup at a time, mixing until smooth. Add the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt.
- Adjust Consistency:
- If the frosting is too thick, add heavy cream or milk, one tablespoon at a time, until the frosting reaches your desired consistency. If it’s too thin, add a bit more powdered sugar.
Step 3: Assemble the Cake
- Level the Cake Layers:
- If needed, level the top of each cake layer using a serrated knife so they are flat and even.
- Frost the Cake:
- Place the first layer of cake on a cake stand or serving plate. Spread a generous amount of frosting over the top of the first layer, smoothing it out with a spatula.
- Place the second layer of cake on top, and frost the entire cake with the white chocolate buttercream, smoothing the sides and top.
- Decorate:
- Garnish with shaved white chocolate, fresh berries, or edible flowers for an elegant touch.
Step 4: Serve and Enjoy
- Allow the cake to set for about 30 minutes to an hour to ensure the frosting is firm before slicing.
- Serve the cake at room temperature for the best flavor and texture.
Tips:
- Make Ahead: Both the cake and frosting can be made ahead. Store the cake layers at room temperature (covered) for up to 2 days, or freeze them for longer storage. The frosting can be refrigerated for up to 3 days, but be sure to bring it to room temperature and re-whip it before using.
- Flavor Variations: If you’d like to add more depth to the flavor, try adding a tablespoon of orange zest to the cake batter or frosting for a citrus twist.
