White Chocolate Pecan Layer Cake

Step 1

Set your oven to reach a temperature of 350°F (175°C) and prepare by greasing and flouring three cake pans, each 8 inches in diameter.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt thoroughly.

Step 3

Using a mixer, blend the butter with granulated sugar until it becomes airy. Continue by adding eggs individually, mixing well, and then incorporate vanilla extract.

Step 4

Slowly, merge the dry mixture into the batter, interchanging with milk. Gently fold in the white chocolate chips and pecans.

Step 5

Evenly distribute the batter into the prepared pans and place them in the oven. Let them bake for approximately 25-30 minutes, then cool completely once taken out.

Step 6

To make the frosting, beat the heavy cream along with confectioners' sugar and vanilla until a firm consistency is achieved.

Step 7

Commence the cake layering by spreading frosting and pouring white chocolate ganache between each layer. Cover the top and sides with frost, add more ganache drizzle, and finish by sprinkling pecans on top.
