Cameo Cake
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups butter
- 3/4 cup water
- 3/4 cup white chocolate chips
- 1 1/2 cups buttermilk
- 4 egg, beaten
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup chopped toasted pecans
- 2 1/4 cups white sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
- 4 (1 ounce) squares white chocolate, melted
- 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
- 1 (3 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
- 1/3 cup butter, softened
- 6 1/2 cups confectioners’ sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Instructions
1 Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour three 8 or 9 inch round cake pans. Stir together 3 cups flour, white sugar, and soda. Set aside.
2 Combine 1 1/2 cup butter and water in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat, and add 4 ounces white chocolate. Stir until chocolate melts. Stir in buttermilk, eggs, and 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla. Gradually stir in flour mixture; batter will be thin. Dredge pecans in 1/2 cup flour, and fold into batter. Pour into prepared pans.
3 Bake for 20 to 25 minute. Cool layers in pans for 10 minutes. Remove from pans, and cool completely on wire racks.
4 To make the frosting: Beat together both packages of cream cheese and 1/3 cup butter until creamy. Blend in melted and cooled white chocolate. Mix in confectioner’s sugar and 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla. Frost between layers, and on top and sides of cake. Sprinkle with additional pecans if desired.
