Scale
For the Crust:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup white chocolate chips, melted
- 3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp baking powder

- 1 can (20 oz) crushed pineapple, drained
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1/2 cup white chocolate chips (for frosting)
Instructions
1. Prepare the Crust:
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
- In a large bowl, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in melted white chocolate and vanilla.
- In a separate bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Alternately add dry ingredients and buttermilk to the butter mixture, mixing until just combined.
- Divide batter evenly between the prepared pans. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Cool completely.
- For the filling, mix drained crushed pineapple with powdered sugar. Spread evenly over one cake layer, then top with the second layer.
- For the frosting, whip heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Fold in melted white chocolate. Frost the cake and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.
