Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter (softened)
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- ½ tsp (0.5 teaspoon) baking powder
- Pinch of salt
- 1 tbsp (1 tablespoon) vanilla extract
Instructions
- Pan Preparation: Warm oven to 350°F and line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper or butter to prevent adhesion.
- Butter Mixture: Whip softened unsalted butter and granulated sugar using an electric mixer until light and airy, creating a creamy foundation for the cake.
- Wet Ingredient Fusion: Introduce eggs individually, thoroughly integrating each one, then infuse vanilla extract to elevate the flavor complexity.
- Dry Ingredient Blending: Sift all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt together, ensuring uniform distribution and preventing potential lumps.
- Batter Assembly: Delicately incorporate dry ingredients into the butter mixture, stirring minimally to maintain the cake’s tender crumb structure.
- Chocolate Enhancement: Gently fold white chocolate chips throughout the batter, dispersing them evenly without compromising their integrity.
- Baking Process: Spread batter smoothly in the prepared pan and bake for 25-30 minutes, monitoring until a toothpick emerges clean with minimal residue.
- Cooling and Serving: Allow cake to cool completely in the pan for 30-45 minutes, then slice and present this delectable white snack cake.
Notes
- Prevent Overmixing: Stir batter gently to maintain a tender, light crumb without developing tough gluten strands.
- White Chocolate Chip Distribution: Fold chips carefully to prevent sinking and ensure even flavor throughout the cake.
- Room Temperature Ingredients: Use softened butter and eggs at room temperature for smoother mixing and better cake texture.
- Accurate Baking Time: Check cake doneness with a toothpick test, watching for minimal crumbs to avoid overbaking and dryness.
