Delicious Gluten-Free Vanilla Cake with White Chocolate Drip

This cake consists of fluffy gluten-free vanilla layers filled with sweet marshmallow cream and finished with a glossy white chocolate drip. The preparation time is about 1 hour, and it serves 8-10 people.

Ingredients

• 2 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 4 large eggs
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup milk or dairy-free alternative
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup marshmallow cream
• 8 ounces white chocolate, chopped
• 1/2 cup heavy cream or dairy-free alternative

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, baking powder, and salt.
3. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
4. Combine Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk. Mix until just combined.
5. Bake the Cakes: Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
6. Prepare Marshmallow Cream: Once the cakes are cool, spread a layer of marshmallow cream on top of one cake layer. Place the second layer on top.
7. Make the White Chocolate Drip: In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream until just simmering. Remove from heat and add the chopped white chocolate, stirring until melted and smooth.
8. Drip the Cake: Pour the white chocolate ganache over the top of the cake, allowing it to drip down the sides. Let it set for a few minutes before slicing.
9. Serve: Slice the cake and serve to your guests, enjoying the delightful combination of flavors.
