How to Make Creamy White Chocolate Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8-inch round springform pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 4 large eggs and 1 ½ cups granulated sugar for 10 minutes, until light, fluffy, and pale yellow. The mixture should leave a trail when the whisk is lifted.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour and 2 teaspoons baking powder. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, gently folding with a spatula until just combined.
  4. Fold in 1 cup melted white chocolate chips.
  5. Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
  7. While the cake cools, prepare the ganache: In a medium saucepan, heat 1 cup heavy cream over medium heat until it just begins to simmer. Remove from heat and add 12 ounces of white chocolate, chopped. Stir until smooth and creamy.
  8. Stir in 4 ounces of cream cheese, softened. Set aside to cool slightly.
  9. Once the cake is completely cool, carefully pour the ganache over the top, spreading evenly.
  10. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the ganache to set.
  11. Prepare the chocolate curls: Melt 4 ounces of your favorite chocolate (dark, milk, or semi-sweet) and spread it thinly onto a marble or acrylic surface.
  12. Once the chocolate is slightly set, use a bench scraper to create curls by pushing the chocolate at a 25-degree angle. Chill until firm.
  13. Remove the cake from the pan and place it on a serving platter. Decorate with the chocolate curls and dust with cocoa powder.
