How to Make White Chocolate And Orange Poppy Seed Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease and lightly flour a 13x9 inch baking pan or bundt pan.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter and 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in 4 large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and ½ teaspoon baking soda.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with 1 cup sour cream and ½ cup milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix on low speed until just combined.
  6. Gently fold in 1 cup chopped white chocolate, ½ cup poppy seeds, and the zest of 1 large orange.
  7. Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. **For the Glaze:** In a microwave-safe bowl or small saucepan, melt 6 ounces of white chocolate with 2 tablespoons of orange juice. Stir until smooth.
  10. Gradually whisk in 1 ½ cups powdered sugar until the glaze reaches your desired consistency.
  11. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cake and immediately sprinkle with candied orange peel and white chocolate curls (optional).
