INGREDIENTS:

For the Cake:

2 cups cake flour

6 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

8 tablespoons unsalted butter softened

1 1/2 cups granulated sugar

2 large eggs room temperature

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup buttermilk

1 teaspoon white vinegar

Purple food coloring as desired

For the Frosting:

4 ounces white chocolate melted

12 ounces cream cheese softened

6 ounces unsalted butter softened

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Purple food coloring as desired (optional)

DIRECTIONS:

Prepare Your Pans: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease two 9-inch round cake pans, line with parchment paper, then grease the parchment and dust with cocoa powder.
Mix Dry Ingredients: Sift together cake flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl. Set aside.
Cream Butter and Sugar: In a stand mixer, cream butter on medium-high speed until light (about 3-5 minutes). Gradually add sugar, beating until fluffy.
Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in eggs one at a time, ensuring each is incorporated before adding the next. Add vanilla extract and mix well.
Combine Dry and Wet Ingredients: Stir buttermilk with vinegar and purple food coloring in a jug. Alternate adding the dry ingredients and buttermilk mixture to the butter mixture, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
Bake: Divide batter between prepared pans. Bake for 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool in pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
Prepare the Frosting: Melt white chocolate in a double boiler and set aside to cool slightly. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and butter until creamy. Add melted white chocolate and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth. Add food coloring if desired.
Assemble the Cake: Spread frosting on one cooled cake layer, top with the second layer, and cover the entire cake with remaining frosting.
