I was given this recipe after I asked on my facebook page for inspiration.
I have to say it is TO DIE FOR. I was seriously impressed and so were the couple I was making it for.
This recipe is now a firm favourite. Enjoy!
Here it is:
Ingredients
1/4 pound White Chocolate melted
1 cup butter
1 cup sugar
4 egg yolks
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
2 1/2 cups cake flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup buttermilk
1 cup pecans, chopped
1 cup flaked coconut (optional)
4 egg whites
1 cup sugar
Directions:
Melt chocolate over hot, not boiling water. Cool slightly and add vanilla. Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add chocolate. Add egg yolks, one at a time, mixing after each addition. Sift dry ingredients together and add alternately with buttermilk. Stir in pecans and coconut (optional). Mix only enough to blend.
Whip egg whites and sugar to a soft peak. Gently fold whipped egg whites into chocolate mixture.
Pour into a 9×13 pan or 2 8″ round pans. Bake at 350F for 40-45 minutes or until done.

Hi Sara, I made white chocolate buttercream by adding melted white chocolate to my buttercream mixture. I Just did it to taste so no specific recipe i’m afraid. Good luck with your bridal shower!! I hope it goes well, x
