White Chocolate Drip Cake is an elegant layered dessert with moist cake layers, creamy frosting, and a glossy white chocolate ganache that cascades down the sides for a stunning finish.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 3/4 cups granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup unsalted butter (for frosting)
  • 3 1/2 cups powdered sugar (for frosting)
  • 2 tbsp heavy cream (for frosting)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (for frosting)
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream (for ganache)
  • 6 oz white chocolate, finely chopped (for ganache)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour three 8-inch cake pans.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time, then add vanilla.
  4. Mix in sour cream. Add dry ingredients alternately with milk, beginning and ending with dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
  5. Divide batter evenly between pans and bake for 25–28 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool in pans for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  6. For the frosting, beat butter until creamy. Add powdered sugar, vanilla, and cream; beat until fluffy. Adjust consistency with more cream if needed.
  7. To make the ganache, heat cream until just simmering and pour over white chocolate. Let sit for 2 minutes, then stir until smooth. Let cool slightly before using.
  8. Frost the cooled cakes and smooth the top and sides. Chill the cake for 20–30 minutes.
  9. Using a spoon or piping bag, drizzle cooled ganache over the edges of the cake, allowing it to drip down the sides. Fill the top with remaining ganache.

Notes

  • Use high-quality white chocolate for a smooth ganache.
  • Chill the cake before applying the drip to control the flow.
  • Add decorations like sprinkles, fruit, or white chocolate curls for extra flair.
