  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips
  • 1 cup chopped pecans
  • 2 cups heavy cream (for frosting)
  • ½ cup confectioners' sugar (for frosting)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour three 8-inch round cake pans.

  3. Cream softened butter and sugar using an electric mixer until fluffy. Add eggs one at a time along with vanilla extract.
  4. Gradually mix in dry ingredients alternately with milk until just combined. Fold in white chocolate chips and chopped pecans gently.
  5. Divide batter among prepared pans and bake for 25–30 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean. Allow layers to cool completely.
