How To Make White Chocolate Cake ??
First of all, I like the combination of pineapple and white chocolate so that’s when I thought of combining it to make a cake. Therefore, if you like having cakes which have some fruity aroma then you’ll love this recipe. Additionally, the texture is soft and who doesn’t enjoy cakes being soft ?? !! At my place, we bake this one just before tea time so we get to enjoy a freshly baked yummy cake with a cup of chai
I’ve kept it simple with no much drama, however, if you’d like some nuts or raisins in the cake, go ahead and put loads of it !!

LET’S TALK INGREDIENTS TO MAKE THIS CAKE WITH WHITE CHOCOLATE
EGG & EGG REPLACEMENT
Note, to make this cake its best to separate the yolk and the whites, we then beat up the whites till it forms stiff peaks. This is the reason our cake has a soft and light texture.
However, I’m not someone who would substitute eggs for this recipe but just in case some of your’ll are curious to do so here’s what you can do
Also, you can use egg replacement powder.
Measurement: 1 egg = ½ tablespoon egg replacement powder + 2 tablespoons of water
Mix the water and powder together, beat it up until foamy like we beat up egg whites until stiff peaks form. Add to the batter just like you’d add egg whites to it.
WHITE CHOCOLATE AND BUTTER
Now, the first steps to this recipe say, combine white chocolate and butter, melt it completely and combine with the other ingredients. I like to place my white chocolate on a double boiler until completely melted and then add butter to it, again until completely melted. Also note, the mixture will separate a bit which is fine, don’t panic. In conclusion, use this mixture to combine with the other ingredients

Hi Alisha,
I have been trying a few recipes from your blog and they all turn out great. You are such a darling to share all these wonderful recipes. I want to make your chocolate granola but I couldn’t comment on that post since the option was not there. Can I replace coconut oil with canola oil? Secondly can I also use a mix of both the above mentioned oils?
Thanks a bunch!
Alisha Rodrigues says
Hi Diana

Diana Benito says
Hi Alisha, I have another query. I do not have pineapple essence on hand but do have orange flavor. I am planning to make this cake tomorrow. Would that work?
Thanks in advance,
Diana
Alisha Rodrigues says

Nivedita says
Is almond powder necessary? What is the substitute?
Alisha Rodrigues says
Almond powder gives this cake the perfect taste and texture it requires. You can use any other nut powder as well. Like powdered cashews or hazelnuts
Diana says
Hi Alisha, Can I replace white chocolate with white chocolate chips? I don’t have white chocolate on hand but lot of white chocolate chips. If yes, how to use it – whole or melted?Will it affect the taste and texture?
Thanks in advance!
Alisha Rodrigues says
Hey Diana ..
You can use white chocolate chips as well. It does not influence the taste or texture of the cake. Just melt it like you melt regular chocolate in the recipe.
