This post is sponsored by Baker’s Joy, but all opinions are my own.
So you know all those quizzes out there that tell you what Disney princess you are, what color your aura is, what ‘Friends’ character you are (I’m Monica, by the way)?
Well, have you ever wondered which sweet treat you’d be?
Honestly, I don’t know that you could pigeon hole me to just one. I’m pretty sure every flavor is my favorite. As long as it’s got sugar in it. 🙂
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 “Which Sweet Treat Are You?” quiz that Baker’s Joy created, I’m an Intense Chocolate Mocha Cake. And guess what? I love it! It looks amazing!
And the description seems right on – on a good day anyway. “I 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%.”
I’ll take it!
You should totally go check the quiz out! It’s pretty fun. Plus, they’re giving away daily prizes (you can enter to win by taking the quiz every day!), a $500 Visa gift card, KitchenAid Mixer and a year’s supply of Baker’s Joy cooking spray. Rock on!
And if you’re super cool, you’ll totally turn out to be a White Chocolate Truffle Cake. Or maybe you’ll match me and be bold and intense, like a Chocolate Mocha Cake.
Speaking of the White Chocolate Truffle cake, would you like to know a little about it? It’s quite tasty.

The cake itself is a fairly dense vanilla cake. It’s a nice contrast to the soft, melt-in-your mouth truffle topping.
The truffle topping however, is where it’s at. De-lish! So smooth, creamy, white chocolatey…dreamy.
And just a few simple ingredients – white chocolate, heavy cream and mascarpone cheese.
I have been loving putting mascarpone cheese in stuff recently. This won’t be the last time you’ll see it. 🙂
If you’ve never bought mascarpone cheese before, you should be able to find it with the specialty cheeses in the grocery store. usually near the deli. It’s not a heavily flavorful cheese, but it adds a richness and creaminess to the truffle mixture that is heavenly.
So get to baking’ and quiz takin’. You have until May 5 to take it as many times as you want and win fun prizes! Check it out.

Hi! Love your pictures and the cake looks delish! Which is why I’m make it for my daughter’s 4th birthday. Quick question : it’s 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 it’ll 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! I’m drooling on my phone! Just a quick question…can I double the recipe and make this into a two layer stacked cake? I’m wanting to make it for Easter for my family and I’m just wondering how it would hold up! Thanks! 🙂
I don’t really think it’d work well as a layered cake. I don’t think the truffle layer is firm enough.
I’ve made it for my sister’s birthday, it was so good!
I’m 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! 🙂
For the Ganache it says 1/4 + 1/8 heavy cream. Is that measurement for cups? Can’t wait to make this cake but I want to make sure I have the correct measurements!
Hi Lauren! Yes, it is. Thanks for pointing that out, I’ve got it updated. Enjoy it!
Wow this sounds wonderful as do all the other cakes below this. I may have to break down and make that Black Forest Ice Cream Cake and Millionaires Cake. I can see I’ll be printing most of these off. Great recipes! I feel the pounds adding on just looking at these!
Thanks Vicki! All those are good choices! 🙂
I love white chocolate!! This cake looks absolutely amazing!
Thanks Katie! 🙂
White chocolate is my favorite! And a truffle cake, mmmmm.

WOW! I have a bunch of white chocolate chips and have been looking for something to do with them. This is incredible!
