Recipe:

Ingredients:

For the sponge cake:

• 4 large eggs
• 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
• 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the white chocolate cream:

• 2 cups (500ml) heavy cream (cold)
• 1 cup (180g) white chocolate, melted and cooled
• 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (optional, for sweetness)

For decoration:

• White chocolate shavings (as needed)

Instructions:

Step 1: Prepare the Sponge Cake

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line two 8-inch round cake pans with parchment paper.
2. In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs and sugar until light and fluffy (about 5 minutes).
3. Sift the flour and baking powder together, then gently fold it into the egg mixture. Add vanilla extract and mix until just combined.
4. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans and bake for 20–25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
5. Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 2: Make the White Chocolate Cream

1. Whip the cold heavy cream in a medium bowl until it forms stiff peaks.
2. Gradually fold in the cooled, melted white chocolate and powdered sugar (if using) until well combined. Chill the cream in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.

Step 3: Assemble the Cake

1. Place one layer of the sponge cake on a serving plate. Spread a generous layer of white chocolate cream over it.
2. Place the second sponge layer on top and cover the cake with the remaining cream.
3. Decorate with white chocolate shavings on top and around the sides.

Step 4: Chill and Serve

• Refrigerate the cake for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld and the cream to set.
• Slice and enjoy!

This cake is a showstopper, perfect for any occasion. Its rich, creamy layers and delicate sweetness make it an unforgettable treat!
