joannqn Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 My youngest is three today. We're having a very small party tomorrow, and she wants a pink cake. I only have a chocolate cake recipe that I like. I'm hoping to not have to resort to boxed cake. Does anyone have a great recipe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meena Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 I'm not sure if cupcakes would work, but if so these Vanilla Buttermilk Cupcakes are great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lara in Colo Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Really good, moist and tasty--not an overpowering white chocolate flavor, just makes it richer. White Chocolate Cake Ingredients • 3 (1 ounce) squares white chocolate, chopped • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour • 1 1/2 cups white sugar • 2 1/4 teaspoons baking powder • 1/2 teaspoon salt • 1 2/3 cups heavy cream • 3 eggs • 1 teaspoon almond extract • • 3 (1 ounce) squares white chocolate, chopped • 3 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar • 1/4 cup butter, softened • 4 tablespoons water • 1/2 teaspoon almond extract Directions 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour 2 - (8 or 9 inch) round pans. 2. In a double boiler, over lightly simmering water, melt 3 ounces white chocolate, stirring occasionally, until melted; set aside and cool to lukewarm. In a small bowl, mix flour, sugar, baking powder and salt; set aside. In a large chilled bowl, whip heavy cream until stiff peaks form; set aside. 3. In a large bowl, beat eggs or about 5 minutes, or until light and lemon colored. Beat in 1 teaspoon almond flavoring and melted white chocolate. Fold in whipped cream. Fold in flour mixture, about 1/2 cup at a time. Pour batter into prepared pans. 4. Bake in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Let cool in pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack and cool completely. 5. To make White Chocolate Frosting: In a large bowl, heat 3 ounces white baking chocolate over low heat, stirring occasionally, until melted; cool to lukewarm. In a medium bowl on medium speed, combine melted white chocolate, confectioners' sugar, butter, water and 1/2 teaspoon almond extract. Beat until smooth and of spreading consistency.
