Instructions

Preparation

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  • In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, sugar, and brown sugar together until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.
  • Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, alternating with the buttermilk. Start and end with the flour mixture. Fold in the chopped white chocolate and blueberries.
  • Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pans and smooth the tops.

Baking

  • Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow the cakes to cool in their pans for 10 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.

Frosting

  • Beat the softened butter until creamy. Gradually add powdered sugar, mixing well. Add heavy cream and vanilla extract, and beat until smooth and fluffy. Incorporate melted white chocolate.

Assembly

  • Once cooled, frost the layers of the cake with white chocolate frosting. Decorate with fresh blueberries and white chocolate shavings.

Notes

Use fresh blueberries for the best flavor. Consider adding lemon zest for a refreshing twist. For storage, cover with plastic wrap at room temperature for up to three days or refrigerate for up to a week.
