Ingredients

Scale
  • For the Cake:
    • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
    • 1 cup granulated sugar
    • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
    • 2 large eggs
    • ½ cup milk
    • 1 ½ tsp baking powder
    • ½ tsp salt
  • For the White Chocolate Mousse:
    • 8 oz white chocolate, chopped
    • 1 cup heavy cream
    • 2 large egg whites
    • ¼ cup granulated sugar
    • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • For the Blueberry Topping:
    • 2 cups fresh blueberries
    • ¼ cup granulated sugar
    • 1 tbsp lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk, until just combined.
  6. Pour the batter into a greased 9-inch round cake pan and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  7. While the cake cools, melt the white chocolate in a double boiler, stirring until smooth.
  8. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form.
  9. In another bowl, beat the egg whites until foamy, then gradually add sugar and beat until stiff peaks form.
  10. Fold the melted white chocolate into the whipped cream, then gently fold in the egg whites until fully incorporated.
  11. Once the cake is completely cool, spread the white chocolate mousse over the top and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to set.
  12. For the blueberry topping, combine blueberries, sugar, and lemon juice in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook until the blueberries burst and the mixture thickens, about 5-7 minutes.
  13. Let the blueberry topping cool before spreading it over the mousse layer. Serve chilled.
