Instructions

Step 1:

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line two or three round cake pans.

Step 3:

In another bowl, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy.

Step 6:

Divide batter evenly into pans and bake for 25–30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.

Step 7:

Let cakes cool completely before assembling.

Step 8:

Prepare filling by beating cream cheese until smooth. Add melted white chocolate and powdered sugar.

Whip cream separately until stiff peaks form, then fold into the cream cheese mixture.

For frosting, beat butter, powdered sugar, cream cheese, and vanilla until creamy.

Step 11:

Assemble the cake: layer cake, spread filling, repeat layers.

Notes

Make sure the white chocolate is cooled before mixing to prevent melting the cream cheese. Also, avoid overmixing the batter to keep the cake soft.
