White Chocolate Chiffon Cake

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 160°C (325°F). Grease and flour a 20cm (8 inch) round cake pan.

   Tip: For a smooth cake, ensure the pan is well-greased and floured.

2. 2

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

   Tip: Sifting the dry ingredients helps to incorporate air and ensures a light cake.

3. 3

   In a large bowl, whisk together butter, eggs, and sour cream.

   Tip: Whisking the wet ingredients helps to break down the butter and incorporate air.

4. 4

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

   Tip: Melted white chocolate is essential for the cake's flavor and texture.

5. 5

   Add the melted white chocolate to the wet ingredients and whisk until smooth.

   Tip: Ensure the white chocolate is fully incorporated into the batter.

6. 6

   Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, whisking until just combined.

   Tip: Overmixing the batter can result in a dense cake.

7. 7

   Add the unsalted milk, vegetable oil, and plain yogurt, whisking until the batter is smooth.

   Tip: The addition of yogurt provides moisture and tenderness to the cake.

8. 8

   Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top.

   Tip: A smooth batter ensures a smooth cake.
