So you know all those quizzes out there that tell you what Disney princess you are, what color your aura is, what โFriendsโ character you are (Iโm Monica, by the way)?
Well, have you ever wondered which sweet treat youโd be?
Honestly, I donโt know that you could pigeon hole me to just one. Iโm pretty sure every flavor is my favorite. As long as itโs got sugar in it. ๐
Lemon? Love it! Strawberry? Obsessed! Cookie dough? Get in my belly! Chocolate? Duh. And Funfetti? Well, I might as well bathe in it.
You get the point.
However, according to the super fun โWhich Sweet Treat Are You?โ quiz that Bakerโs Joy created, Iโm an Intense Chocolate Mocha Cake. And guess what? I love it! It looks amazing!
And the description seems right on โ on a good day anyway. โI am bold, strong and passionate. A double shot with extra whip and not afraid to tackle any challenge. I wake up giving the proverbial 110%.โ
Iโll take it!
You should totally go check the quiz out! Itโs pretty fun. Plus, theyโre giving away daily prizes (you can enter to win by taking the quiz every day!), a $500 Visa gift card, KitchenAid Mixer and a yearโs supply of Bakerโs Joy cooking spray. Rock on!

Speaking of the White Chocolate Truffle cake, would you like to know a little about it? Itโs quite tasty.
More About This Marvellous Cake Recipe
The cake itself is a fairly dense vanilla cake. Itโs a nice contrast to the soft, melt-in-your mouth truffle topping.
The truffle topping however, is where itโs at. De-lish! So smooth, creamy, white chocolateyโฆdreamy.
And just a few simple ingredients โ white chocolate, heavy cream and mascarpone cheese.
I have been loving putting mascarpone cheese in stuff recently. This wonโt be the last time youโll see it. ๐
If youโve never bought mascarpone cheese before, you should be able to find it with the specialty cheeses in the grocery store. usually near the deli. Itโs not a heavily flavorful cheese, but it adds a richness and creaminess to the truffle mixture that is heavenly.
So get to bakingโ and quiz takinโ. You have until May 5 to take it as many times as you want and win fun prizes! Check it out.

Enjoy!
I made this cake for Christmas dinner, it was a real hit and fairly easy to make. The truffle layer did not set firmly, was still a bit loose but it did stay together and the ganache helped to secure it in place. The recipe is quite sweet so I found small servings best
Omgoshโฆ ๐๐๐ Best White Chocolate Cake ever. Have made it twice today huge hit at morning tea this morning, I had to make again this afternoon but made cupcakes instead Texa Muffin size and they will sit in the freezer so I can a a very special treat whenever. I love baking and will bake anything, I used to have my own small catering group, a Cafe/Lunch Bar also a market cake stall. There is only one cake or muffin I donโt eat and have to wear a mask and gloves anything Bananaโs, I dry retch the smell and feel of Bananaโs and I can take or leave a whole cake of just chocolate chocolate chips okay and White or Caramel Chocolate anything is most Definitely AOkay.
Thankyou thankyou. I did use my homemade Mascaponne which was fantasticโฆ
So glad you enjoyed it!
Can you convert these to cupcakes?
Iโm not sure. Iโve never tried to do that. I guess it depends a little on how you want to go about doing it.
Can mascarpone cheese be omitted from the recipe as itโs not available in my area or is there any other substitute ingredient for it?
You could try using cream cheese instead.
I really really wanted this recipe to work! The cake part was simple and turned out a nicely flavored moist cake. However, Iโm not sure what was happening with the truffle layer! The chocolate and cream part went smoothly and then as soon as I added the mascarpone it would seperate and seem to curdle. I tried it twice! Had to throw it out both times and had the plain cake instead. What went wrong?!
Can you use the truffle layer as a cake filling? Or would the cake be to heavy?
You could, but youโd probably want to pipe a dam around the edge of the cake before adding the filling so that it stays in place.
I would like to know how to make a 10 inch or a twelve 12 White Chocolate Truffle Cake for a Birthday, Thanks! it looks Amazing
Iโm really not sure of the adjustments without trying it, Iโm sorry.
This is a great recipe!! Everyone loved it!
Wonderful! Iโm so glad!
This was absolutely delicious, however, mine turned out more like a tres leches. The truffle layer was super runny and soaked right into the cake, as opposed to being spread on top. Is it possible that 1 1/4 C of cream was too much? I have no idea where I went wrong; Iโm usually a good baker, lol! But the flavors were still divine! ๐
That is the correct amount of heavy cream, though you could reduce it by maybe a 1/4 cup if you wanted it thicker. One possibility is with the mascarpone cheese โ that can sometimes get a little runny if itโs over-beaten. Iโm glad you still enjoyed it though!
This looks so lovelyโฆ but do you also have a recipe for Dark Chocolate Truffle Cake? I ADORE dark chocolate!
I like the way you think! I donโt have a dark chocolate version of this cake, but I think thatโs a great idea. Itโs going on my list of things to make. ๐
Please let me know via this link if, and when you make a Dark Chocolate Truffle Cake. Thank you!
Hi! Love your pictures and the cake looks delish! Which is why Iโm make it for my daughterโs 4th birthday. Quick question : itโs getting really hot in India so does the truffle layer hold up for an hour or two outside or does it require refrigeration until the moment we cut the cake? Ideally how long can I leave it out for so the cake portion is not too cold? Thanks !
The truffle layer is fairly soft. You could have it out of the refrigerator for a little bit (maybe half an hour or so), but itโll definitely get softer and I tend to prefer a firmer texture.
The cake was such a big hit!! Thanks so much!!
This. It looks heavenly! Iโm drooling on my phone! Just a quick questionโฆcan I double the recipe and make this into a two layer stacked cake? Iโm wanting to make it for Easter for my family and Iโm just wondering how it would hold up! Thanks! ๐
I donโt really think itโd work well as a layered cake. I donโt think the truffle layer is firm enough.
Iโve made it for my sisterโs birthday, it was so good!
Iโm so glad you liked it! Thanks Felicia!
This looks delicious, your pictures are amazing! I really like the white chocolate truffle layer!
Thank you Roxy! ๐
