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
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk, until just combined.
- 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.
- While the cake cools, melt the white chocolate in a double boiler, stirring until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form.
- In another bowl, beat the egg whites until foamy, then gradually add sugar and beat until stiff peaks form.
- Fold the melted white chocolate into the whipped cream, then gently fold in the egg whites until fully incorporated.
- Once the cake is completely cool, spread the white chocolate mousse over the top and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to set.
- 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.
- Let the blueberry topping cool before spreading it over the mousse layer. Serve chilled.
Notes
- This cake can be made a day in advance; store it in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
- Leftover mousse can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
- For a gluten-free version, substitute all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend.
