White Chocolate Cake with Roasted Strawberry Cream Cheese Frosting Recipe
(This is my fun idea of a version of the chocolate covered strawberry with a twist! Enjoy! )
Cake:
Ingredients
• 5 oz. White Chocolate chips
• 1 ½ c. milk
• 2 ½ c. all- purpose flour
• 2 ½ tsp. baking Powder
• ¼ tsp. salt
• ¾ c. salted butter, room temp.
• 1 ¼ c. granulated sugar
• 3 lg. eggs, room temp.
• 2 tsp. Vanilla
Directions
• Oven: 350
• Melt white chocolate with the milk on low heat. Stir until smooth and cool to room temp. Reserve on the side.
• Stir the dry ingredients together.
• Cream Butter, sugar and one egg until fluffy! Add the other 2 eggs one at a time.
• Alternately add flour and chocolate/ milk in three additions to creamed mixture. End with flour. Batter will be beautiful and light!
• Divide batter in 3, 6” greased and floured pans.
• Bake 35-40 mins. Test with a toothpick. Cake will be a nice brown around the edges and a good dome shape. Cool in pans 10 mins, unmold and finish cooling on a rack.
Roasted Strawberries:
Ingredients
• 1 quart fresh strawberries ( washed and dried)
• 4 Tbs sugar
• 1 tsp Vanilla
Directions
• Oven: 375
• Stem and quarter the berries. Place on a cookie sheet lined with aluminum foil .
• Sprinkle with sugar and Vanilla evenly.
• Roast for 35-40 mins. The berries will darken and the juice will be thick. The house will smell amazing!!! I usually do these the night before and store in the fridge.
• Measure out about ½ c. berries and puree. Any remaining berries are amazing on Vanilla ice cream or in yogurt.
