In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the butter until it's creamy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the almond milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Beat just until combined.

Melt the white chocolate chips in a double boiler or in the microwave in 30-second increments, stirring between each interval. Allow the white chocolate to cool slightly.

Add the white chocolate to the batter and mix until well combined. Beat in the vanilla extract.
Tip: Don't overmix the batter, as this can result in a dense cake.
