Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour three 8-inch round cake pans.
In a mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt.
Cream softened butter and sugar using an electric mixer until fluffy. Add eggs one at a time along with vanilla extract.
Gradually mix in dry ingredients alternately with milk until just combined. Fold in white chocolate chips and chopped pecans gently.
Divide batter among prepared pans and bake for 25–30 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean. Allow layers to cool completely.
Make the frosting by whipping heavy cream with confectioners' sugar and vanilla until stiff peaks form.
Layer the cooled cakes with frosting between each layer, then frost the top and sides of the cake. Drizzle with white chocolate ganache.
