Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare two 8-inch round cake pans by greasing and dusting them with flour.
Combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl.
Cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
Integrate the eggs one by one, then add the vanilla extract and blend until smooth.
Gradually include the dry ingredients alternately with the milk, mixing well. Add pink food coloring until you reach your desired shade.
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Let the cakes cool completely in the pans before transferring them to a wire rack.
Whip the frosting by beating softened unsalted butter, then gradually add powdered sugar, vanilla, and heavy cream, finishing with pink food coloring.
Assemble the cake by frosting between layers, then frost the outside evenly.
Heat the heavy cream until warm, pour over the white chocolate chips, stir until smooth, and add pink food coloring.
Drizzle the melted pink chocolate over the top, allowing it to cascade down the sides.

Notes

Use gel food coloring for vibrant hues. Ensure butter is softened for the best frosting texture.
