# Instructions:

Turn your oven on to 350°F (175°C). Grease and coat three 8-inch pans with flour so they're ready to go.

Alternate adding the dry mix and milk to the batter. Gently stir in the pecans and white chocolate chips.

Divide the batter evenly into the pans. Set them in the oven and let them bake for about 25-30 minutes. Cool completely on racks when done.
06 -
Whip together the heavy cream, confectioners' sugar, and vanilla until the mix stays thick and fluffy.

Start layering the cake by spreading on the frosting and drizzling white chocolate ganache between layers. Cover the outside with frosting and finish with more ganache and pecans if you’d like.
