Ingredients
  

Yellow Cake:

  • 4 cups plus 2 Tablespoons cake flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 1 cup sticks room temperature butter
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla
  • 4 room temperature eggs
  • 2 cups buttermilk

White Chocolate Frosting:

  • 8 ounces white chocolate I used chips, but you can also chop bars or squares
  • 2 Tablespoons butter
  • 2/3 cup heavy cream
  • strawberries

Instructions
 

  • Sift together the cake flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  • Cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the vanilla. Add the eggs one at a time, scraping after each egg goes in.
  • Add the buttermilk. Slowly add the flour mixture, and stop the mixer as soon as the ingredients are incorporated. Pour the batter into 2 (9-inch) cake pans that have been greased (I use Bakers Joy) and for insurance, line the bottom of the pans with parchment. Bake in a 350 degree oven for 35 to 40 minutes. When a toothpick comes out clean, they are finished. Place the pans on a cooling rack for 10 minutes. Turn the cakes out and let them cool completely.
  • To make the frosting, heat the cream in a small saucepan over medium heat, let the cream come to a gentle bubble. In another bowl, add the white chocolate chips and butter.
  • Pour the cream over the white chocolate. Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes. Whisk until the mixture comes together and is smooth. Chill in the fridge until it comes to room temperature.
  • Pour the cooled white chocolate into the bowl of a mixer, and beat until it becomes fluffy.
  • Place one cake layer on a cake plate. I put a little dab of frosting on the plate and then put the cake on top of that, it acts like glue, and the cake does not move. Add a layer of white chocolate frosting. Top with sliced strawberries. Add the second cake layer. Use the remaining frosting for the top layer.
  • Garnish with whole strawberries.
  • Keep the cake in the refrigerator.
