Ingredients
  

Ingredients

  • 1.5 cups all-purpose flour sifted
  • 1 cup granulated sugar divided
  • 3 large eggs room temperature
  • 0.5 cup whole milk lukewarm
  • 1.5 tsp baking powder
  • 10 oz white chocolate high-quality baking bars, chopped
  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream cold
  • 1 tsp vanilla bean paste or pure vanilla extract
  • 0.25 tsp salt
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter melted and cooled

Notes

For the best results, use a high-quality white chocolate with cocoa butter listed as the first ingredient. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. This cake can be made 24 hours in advance, which actually improves the moisture of the sponge.
