This was originally made as cupcakes for a Cupcake Wars contest in the Hudson Valley but people were asking to make this into a cake so it evolved. Enjoy!

How to Make White Godiva Martini Cake
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Cream sugar and butter, beat until light and fluffy
- Add eggs one at a time and mix well after each addition.
- Add food coloring, sour cream, buttermilk and vanilla and mix well.
- Sift together flour, salt, baking soda, baking powder and cocoa. Add flour mixture alittle at a time. DO NOT over mix, it will ruin the texture of the cake.
- Pour batter into 3 (8-inch) round greased and floured pans. Bake for 20 - 30 minutes or until toothpick comes out alittle crumbly. Remove from heat and cool completely before frosting.
NOTE: All ovens are different these time is approximate. Always a good idea to calibrate your ovens to make sure it is truly the temperature you want it to be. - For Filling:
- Cream together the cream cheese and butter.
- Add the confectioners sugar and vanilla extract until full incorporated.
- Add White Godiva Liquer and heavy cream to the cream cheese mixture and whip until fluffy
- For Frosting:
- Cream butter (yes 4 sticks of butter) and vanilla together. Add the confectioners sugar until fully incorporated.
Note: Buttercream is 2 sticks of butter to 3 cups of confectioners sugar. This is a double batch so that you are able to decorate your cake when you are done icing it. - Alternate adding White Godiva Liquer and heavy cream until desired icing consistency.
