Ingredients

Servings

• 2 cup Cake Flour
• ¹⁄₂ cup Cocoa Powder
• 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
• ¹⁄₄ teaspoon Salt
• ¹⁄₂ cup Unsalted Butter
• 1 cup Granulated Sugar
• 2 large Eggs
• 2 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
• ¹⁄₂ cup Buttermilk
• ¹⁄₂ cup Hot Water
• 8 ounces White Chocolate
• 1 ¹⁄₂ cup Heavy Cream
• ¹⁄₄ cup Powdered Sugar
• 1 seeds scraped Vanilla Bean

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the cake flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
3. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the buttermilk. Mix until just combined. Stir in the hot water.
5. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove from the oven and let cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
6. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
7. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla bean seeds until stiff peaks form.
8. Gently fold the melted white chocolate into the whipped cream until well combined.
9. Place one cake layer on a serving plate and spread a layer of white chocolate mousse on top. Place the second cake layer on top and frost the entire cake with the remaining mousse.
10. Refrigerate the cake for at least 2 hours before serving. Enjoy!
