- Add the softened butter and mix until light and fluffy, creating a smooth, creamy base for your batter.
- Pour in the milk, add the eggs, and vanilla extract; mix until smooth.
- Gradually incorporate the melted white chocolate until fully mixed.
- Divide the batter between the prepared cake pans and bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Allow cakes to cool in the pans for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

- Place the second layer on top and frost the entire cake, smoothing the cream over the edges.
