Yellow Cake with Strawberries and White Chocolate Frosting

I made this cake for my friend Berto's birthday. I thought the frosting was pretty good (REALLY SWEET) and the cake was good, but I will continue to seek for a perfect yellow cake recipe.

Ingredients for the cake:
2 cups cake flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 cup sugar
3 large eggs, room temperature
2 teaspoons vanilla
3/4 cup milk
strawberries (for the cake decor)
grated white chocolate (also cake decor)

Beat together the butter and sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. Add the eggs in, one at a time. Add the vanilla. In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Add the dry mixture to the butter mixture alternatively with the milk. Divide between two 9 inch spring form pans (or make sure to grease and flour the pans really really well.)
Bake for 20-25 minutes at 350 degrees.


For the frosting:

6 oz of white chocolate
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
1/2 cup butter (softened)
1 tsp vanilla extract
4 cups of powdered sugar

Melt the white chocolate with the cream in the microwave. Then add the butter and vanilla. Beat until smooth. Gradually at the powdered sugar until the frosting becomes fluffy. You can add more or less sugar depending on how you'd like the consistency and sweetness to be.

Frost and decorate the cake as wanted!
