White Chocolate Cake

Jump to Recipe

While I love a good chocolate cake, this white chocolate cake might be one of my favorite cakes of all time. It is rich and buttery and covered in a decadent white chocolate ganache.

White Chocolate Cake Recipe

And because I like to keep things easy, this is a Bundt cake. I kind of love Bundt cakes. You only need one pan, and you can simply pour on your frosting or glaze, or skip it all together if you are a minimalist.

White Chocolate Bundt Cake

If you love making bundt cakes (or think you need to start!) you’ll want to make sure to have a great bundt cake pan. The only time I don’t love a bundt cake is when it won’t come out of the pan easily. No good. I checked the Cooks Illustrated reviews bundt cake pans and the Nordic Ware Platinum Collection Anniversary Bundt Pan was their top pick. They also liked the Baker’s Secret Non-Stick Fluted Tube Pan. One of their other choices included the Nordic Ware Bundt Bakeware 12 Cup Formed Bundt Pan. I use a non-stick bundt cake pan from Wilton that I’ve been very happy with.

Bundt Cake Pan

This cake starts from a cake mix, and can be made quickly and easily. I promise you the end result gives no indication whatsoever that a cake mix was involved. If you can’t find white chocolate pudding, you can always go with a vanilla pudding, I truly don’t think you’ll notice much of a difference.

White Chocolate

To help spread the white chocolate flavor, I added white chocolate chips to the batter. In order to make them go as far as possible, I use a knife to chop up about half the white chocolate chips, giving you a better chance of getting that white chocolate flavor in each and every bite. This step is optional, but I highly recommend it.

Equipment

  • Bundt Pan

Ingredients

CAKE

  • 1 standard size vanilla cake mix
  • 1 package white chocolate pudding - DRY MIX 3.9 - 4 Serving Size, or vanilla
  • 1 cup sour cream full fat prefered
  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 4 eggs
  • 1/2 cup warm water
  • 1 1/2 cups white chocolate chunks or chips, chopped

GLAZE

  • 8 oz of chopped white chocolate the baking bars typically give a thicker glaze than the chips
  • 1/3 cup heavy cream half and half can also work, but the glaze will be thinner and more transparent

Instructions

CAKE:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • 2. Combine all ingredients and mix with a mixer until combined. Do not over mix, but make sure all dry ingredients and wet ingredients are well combined.
  • 3. Spoon batter into a bundt cake pan that has been sprayed with non-stick cooking spray.
  • 4. Bake for 50-55 minutes or until toothpick inserted into cake comes out clean. Remove from oven and allow to cool on a wire rack. Remove from bundt pan and top with powdered sugar or white chocolate glaze if desired.

GLAZE:

  • In a large microwave safe bowl (glass works best) combine chopped chocolate and heavy cream. Microwave for 30 seconds, remove from microwave and stir well. Return to microwave for another 15 seconds. Remove from microwave and whisk together until smooth (stirring will help melt chocolate). If needed, heat for an additional 15 seconds, then whisk until smooth. Spoon or pour over cake. Enjoy.

      I initially had the same problem. Then I put the glaze in the freezer for a few minutes to make it less runny and more white.

    I just made this cake. Love the texture and flavor. It’s just a little sweeter than my usual cakes.
    Also my glaze was not as thick and white as the picture. It is more of a cream color and thinner

    Do you mix the cake mix according to the box or only mix the ingredients you have listed?

      Hi Steff, you do not make the cake according to the package directions, you make it according to this recipe. Hope that helps, this recipe is a favorite of mine!

    Hi. This looks amazing and I would like to make it for my daughter’s cake tasting tomorrow. I was just curious, are you using an instant pudding mix or a cook-and-serve? Thank you.

      Just an instant pudding, poured in with the ingredients.

    Hi! I followed the directions for the glaze as well and mine did not look like the picture. It was more of a creamy color and very thin. What could I have done wrong?

      Hi Konner, the very thin part makes me think that it might have been a bit too hot. It tends to thicken as it cools a bit. White chocolate can also vary by brand, and be a bit picky when worked with. Also if you use half and half vs heavy cream, that will create a thinner glaze. Hopefully it tasted great though!

    Does the cake recipe call for the entire 1 & 1/2 cups of white choc chips?

      February 26, 2018 at 1:23 pm

      Hi Barb, it does. You could however reduce them, they are just a mix in item so they aren’t critical, but they certainly do a lot for the flavor. Hope that helps!

    Is it okay if you use a box cake that might already have some pudding in it to still add the box of pudding

      March 12, 2018 at 12:44 pm

      Yes, you can use the pudding in the mix cake mixes, but still add the box of pudding. 🙂

    This looks amazing! I love white chocolate. Would it work as cupcakes? Or too dense and moist?

    I’m confused by the pudding mix. I have Hershey’s instant white chocolate pudding mix, the box says the net weight is 3.56 oz. Can I not use this? I couldn’t find any pudding mixes that were 1 oz and my local Walmart only had the Hershey’s brand.

      Hi Andi, yes, that works perfectly. I just noticed that the recipe card is for some reasoning adding an “oz” where it doesn’t belong. The 3.9oz was the correct size. The 3.56 will work as well, brands keep shrinking product sizes, but the standard “4 serving” size is perfect.
