Step-by-Step Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease two 9-inch round cake pans with unsalted butter and dust with flour.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
  • In a large bowl, mix the eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth. Gradually add dry ingredients, mixing gently.
  • Divide the batter between the prepared pans and bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  • Cool the cakes in pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
  • In a microwave-safe bowl, combine white chocolate chips and heavy cream. Heat in short bursts until smooth.
  • Place one cake layer on a serving plate, spread the white chocolate mixture on top, and then place the second layer on top.
  • Use a piping bag to create a spiderweb design with the remaining white chocolate mixture. Decorate as desired.
  • Let the cake set for 30 minutes before slicing and serving.
