Cake
- 1 cup salted butter, room temp
- 1⁄2 cup vegetable shortening
- 3 cups sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- 1⁄2 teaspoon baking powder
- 6 eggs, room temp
- 3 cups flour
- 3⁄4 cup milk (I use whole milk when I bake. Sometimes the recipe needs that little bit extra fat.)
- 1⁄4 cup Creme de Cacao
- 2 cups white chocolate chips, melted
-
icing
- 4 ounces white chocolate
- 1⁄4 cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon Creme de Cacao
- 1 cup salted butter, room temp
- 1 lb icing sugar
- 1⁄4 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
directions
- Cream together the butter, shortening, and sugar. Add the vanilla, and baking powder. Add eggs one at a time, beating generously after each egg. Alternate the flour and milk and mix well. Add the creme de cacao and melted chocolate chips. Pour into a greased bundt pan dusted with icing sugar. Bake at 325 for 1 hour and 15 minutes.
- Cool 10 minutes in pan on a cooling rack. Turn out onto a cake plate.
- For icing, melt the chocolate, cream, and creme de cacao in a small saucepan on fairly low heat. Let cool. In stand mixer with whisk attachment, cream butter on medium-high speed. Add icing sugar and beat at low speed, scraping down the sides as necessary. Beat in the cream and vanilla at medium-high speed until fluffy, about 3 minutes. Beat in the cooled chocolate cream.
- Spread icing on cake. Enjoy.
