The frosting turned out perfect, but I didn't care to much for the cake. As stated before about this recipe, it is more of a sponge cake than your "ideal" cake.

This was "ok"... after reading about all the icing issues I decided to just go with a store bought vanilla icing. The cake itself was moist, and thick, more like a sponge cake. It didn't cook all the way through either with the time suggested. I had fun making the cake, but will continue to look for more white chocolate cake recipes.

Excellent recipe! This is a moist, dense cake, with a nice, creamy buttercream frosting. I added fresh strawberries in between the layers since they're in season right now, this was the rave at a co-workers going away party.

I made this cake for my sons birthday and he took the ledt over cake home and just loved it. Instead of using regular white chocolate I used Lindt coconut chocolate bars and that was superb. The frosting was made with the same chocolate and I used crisco and marshmellow in the frosting. Excellent.

I had very high expectations for this cake due to some of the other reviews, however, I was quite unhappy with the overall recipe. I followed the directions exactly and the cake form turned out great, however, the cake was just plain greasy! Also, I was expecting more of a white chocolate taste and it just didn't happen. Texture wasn't what I expected either. I will search for another white chocolate cake recipe.

Do not attempt this cake without a heavy duty mixer.It's a lot of work, but my family did love it. The icing is runny and the layer of icing disappeared when i put the top layer on. I wound up chilling the icing to get it firm. Next time i will chill the icing prior to assembly. Be warned that this recipe is VERY time consuming.

i tried this recipe today, i come from the UK so i had to change it to metric. the cake tasted a bit like a sweet victoria sponge. The icing was quite nice but i had to stir it on the gas ring for quite a long time. My family seemed to enjoy it though.

This recipe makes a moist,delicious cake!(I followed the directions exactly and submitted the picture.) There are a few tips I can offer: 1)I recommend a heavy duty mixer, not a light or hand held mixer, to make this frosting. 2)When cooking the white chocolate,flour and milk "until very thick", I cooked it until it started pulling together in a "ball" away from the sides of the saucepan and following the wooden spoon in the pan. 3)The butter for the frosting needs to be at room temperature as does the chocolate mixture. 4)Beat the frosting and beat it more!--it will reach whipped cream consistency and hold up on the cake at room temperature. 5)I recommend making this cake a day ahead of when you plan to serve it and do not refrigerate before serving. The taste and moistness of the cake will be enhanced and the frosting will not be grainy from the white sugar the second day. Definitely not a "make at the last minute" recipe, but well worth the extra time and effort it takes.

I try to make the frosting and it did not turn out right. It was extremely runny! I wish I had read the other reviews sooner.

Not much flavor and SUPER GREASY. There's a difference between 'dense' or 'heavy' and just plain dripping with grease. Grainy texture. Like chewing play-doh when it isn't iced. Wish I had checked the fat content on it before choosing to make it. I wouldn't even call it 'moist', just oily. I associate moist things with being flavorful and this isn't. Iced it with whipped cream and used a raspberry filling, coated it with white chocolate curls and made it edible - but barely.

This cake had a WONDERFUL rich flavor! Very heavy! Loved it! I made it in a 13 X 9 pan and checked it often, ended up baking it for 40 minutes total. HOwver, the frosting was a mess - - maybe I did something wrong, but it never did whip up to whipped cream consistency, although it did have good flavor. I question the addition of "white sugar"; I've never heard of icing made with white sugar, only powdered sugar. I WILL definately make this cake again, but will use a different frosting, or experiment with making my OWN version of white chocolate frosting.

I tried the white chocolate frosting recipe for my sister's wedding cake and it came out runny. The instructions says to cook the chocolate mixture until very thick. But how thick?

This frosting didn't turn out for me. I ended up having to buy canned frosting to put on this cake. Not worth the effort.

I'd say it's just ok. The cake itself doesn't have much flavor, and while I think the frosting tastes really good, I don't like the gritty texture. If I make it again, I think I'd try powdered sugar for part or all of the sugar. Also I might use raspberry jam or orange marmalade or something in between the layers for more flavor.

This recipe is okay. The cake tastes good, but I didn't think worth the effort. It is moist, however, unlike a lot of "made from scratch" cakes. It isn't a very sweet cake, despite all of the chocolate, but if you're looking for a cake that isn't overly sweet, you'll probably like this.

Made this as a wedding cake for friends - the icing was superb - easy to work with and very tasty (definitely blitz up the sugar in a blender in advance or use caster sugar). But I wasn't thrilled with the cake. It was heavy enough for layers and didn't crumble, but was a little on the dry side. As well, it didn't have much flavor at all. If I was to make it again I would definitely add some orange or lemon flavouring to try and give it some more depth of flavor.

Nice texture with a mild white chocolate flavor. I sifted the flour before measuring and served this w/raspberry sauce. A word of caution about this type of frosting: If you overbeat the butter/white choc. mixture it will lose it's shape and liquify. 3 or 4 minutes should do it. I wasn't crazy about the frosting although it does look good - next time I would make a simple white chocolate ganache.
