Ingredients
- 1 cup butter
- 1 1/2 cups sugar
- 4 eggs
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 8 ounces white chocolate
- 1/3 cup shortening
- 2 tablespoons chocolate syrup
- 4 ounces mini-morsels (plus 1/2 cup for drizzling)
- Chocolate and white chocolate leaves for garnish (optional)
Instructions
-
Prepare the Batter:
- In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter until smooth. Gradually add the sugar, beating well at medium speed until the mixture is light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
-
Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:
- Dissolve the baking soda in the buttermilk, stirring until well combined.
- Alternate adding the buttermilk mixture and the flour to the creamed mixture, beginning and ending with the flour. Mix until just combined.
-
Incorporate Chocolate Flavors:
- Stir in 1 cup of mini-morsels, melted chocolate, chocolate syrup, and vanilla extract until evenly distributed throughout the batter. Be careful not to overbeat.
-
Bake the Cake:
- Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Heavily grease and flour a 10-inch Bundt pan.
- Spoon the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for 1 hour and 25 to 35 minutes, or until the cake springs back when lightly touched.
-
Cool and Prepare Toppings:
- Once baked, immediately invert the cake onto a serving plate and allow it to cool completely.
- While the cake cools, prepare the chocolate drizzle by melting 4 ounces of chopped white chocolate and 2 tablespoons of shortening in a double boiler. Once melted and smooth, remove from heat.
- Drizzle the melted white chocolate mixture over the cooled cake.
-
Final Touches:
- In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the remaining 1/2 cup of mini-morsels and 2 teaspoons of shortening, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
- Drizzle the melted chocolate mixture over the white chocolate drizzle.
- For an extra touch of elegance, garnish with chocolate and white chocolate leaves, if desired.
