Ingredients:


6 ounces white chocolate, for garnish

1 cup butter, unsalted

1 cup plus 3 teaspoons sugar, granulated

1½ cups all-purpose flour

½ cups plus 3 teaspoons unsweetened cocoa powder

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon salt

4 large eggs

½ pint heavy cream

10½ ounces semisweet chocolate

Preparation:

Finely grate white chocolate onto a plate using a vegetable peeler. Chill until needed.

Preheat oven to 350°F.

Grease the base of two 8-inch round cake pans; line with parchment paper.

Combine butter, sugar, flour, cocoa, baking powder, salt and eggs in a large bowl.

Using an electric mixer set on medium, beat until smooth.

Continue beating until increased in volume, about 2 minutes longer.

Divide batter between pans.

Bakes cakes until a toothpick inserted in centers comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes. Leave cakes in pans to cool for 1 minute, and then turn onto a wire rack.

Peel off lining paper; let cool.

Meanwhile heat heavy cream just to a boil. Break chocolate into pieces; add to cream and stir until melted. Let it cool and chill for 30 minutes, then whisk until thickened to spreadable consistency.

Use a third of chocolate frosting to sandwich cakes.

Spread the remainder over the whole cake.

Sprinkle reserved grated white chocolate to garnish.

Serve 8.
