Instructions

Preheat the Oven

  • Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.

Mix the Dry Ingredients

  • In a medium bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk together thoroughly.

Prepare the Butter and Sugar Mixture

  • In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter, sugar, and brown sugar together until light and fluffy.

Incorporate the Eggs and Vanilla

  • Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.

Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients

  • Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, alternating with the buttermilk. Fold in the chopped white chocolate and blueberries gently.

Divide and Bake

  • Evenly divide the batter between the prepared cake pans and smooth the tops. Bake for 25-30 minutes.

Cool Down

  • Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for about 10 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.

Prepare the Frosting

  • Beat the softened butter until creamy. Gradually add powdered sugar, then incorporate heavy cream and vanilla extract. Finally, add the melted white chocolate.

Assemble the Cake

  • Once cooled, frost the top of one layer, place the second layer on top, and frost the entire cake.

Decorate

  • Decorate with fresh blueberries and white chocolate shavings.

Notes

Perfectly softened butter and room temperature ingredients are important. Chill the frosting if too soft before icing the cake.
