Ingredients

Servings

• 2 cup All-purpose flour
• 1.5 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
• 3 large Eggs
• 0.75 cup Milk
• 2 teaspoon Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 cup Cocoa powder
• 1 cup Powdered sugar
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 4 ounces White chocolate
• 4 ounces Dark chocolate

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
3. In a separate bowl, combine the flour and baking powder. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk.
4. Divide the batter in half. Stir the cocoa powder into one half of the batter. Pour the vanilla batter into one cake pan and the chocolate batter into the other.
5. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
6. In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream until it begins to simmer. Remove from heat and add the white chocolate. Stir until smooth.
7. In another small saucepan, melt the dark chocolate over low heat.
8. Place one cake layer on a serving plate and spread the white chocolate ganache over the top. Place the second cake layer on top and spread the melted dark chocolate over it.
9. Let the cake rest for 1 hour before serving. Dust with powdered sugar if desired.
