Instructions

  5. Combine the dry ingredients with the wet mixture, alternating with the milk until smooth, then add pink food coloring.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared pans and bake for 25-30 minutes, checking with a toothpick.
  7. Allow cakes to cool completely.
  8. Beat the softened butter for frosting until creamy, then mix in the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, heavy cream, and pink food coloring.
  9. Stack the cake layers, frosting between them and around the outside.
  10. Warm the heavy cream for the chocolate drip and pour it over the white chocolate chips, stirring until smooth.
  11. Add pink food coloring to the chocolate drip mixture.
  12. Drizzle the pink chocolate over the top edge of the cake to create drips.
  13. Decorate with additional frosting or sprinkles as desired.

Notes

Ensure cakes cool completely before frosting to prevent melting. Use warm, not boiling, cream for the chocolate drip.
