Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz white chocolate (melted)
- 1/2 cup (113 g) butter
- 1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 2 cups (240 g) all-purpose flour
- 2 tsps baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) milk
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) strawberry puree
Instructions
- Warm the oven to 350°F and line a cake pan with parchment paper, ensuring complete coverage.
- Whip butter and sugar together until light and fluffy, then gently fold in melted white chocolate until fully incorporated.
- Introduce eggs individually, mixing thoroughly after each addition to create a smooth, unified batter.
- Sift together flour, baking powder, and salt, then alternately blend with milk into the mixture, creating a silky consistency.
- Transfer batter into prepared pan, creating gentle peaks and valleys with a spatula.
- Drizzle strawberry puree across the surface, using a knife to create elegant, meandering swirls throughout the batter.
- Place in preheated oven and bake for approximately 35-40 minutes, or until a testing skewer emerges clean and free of raw batter.
- Remove from oven and allow cake to rest in pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
- Cool completely before slicing to ensure structural integrity and optimal flavor development.
Notes
- Soften butter completely at room temperature for smoother, more even mixing with sugar and white chocolate.
- Use fresh, ripe strawberries for the puree to enhance natural sweetness and vibrant color in the swirl pattern.
- Avoid overmixing batter to prevent a dense, tough cake texture; mix just until ingredients are combined.
- For a gluten-free version, substitute all-purpose flour with a 1:1 gluten-free baking blend to maintain cake’s delicate structure.
