  6. Bake: Divide the batter between the pans and bake for 28 to 32 minutes. Let cool before frosting.
  7. Make frosting: Beat cream cheese and butter until smooth. Add melted white chocolate, powdered sugar, vanilla, and salt. Beat until fluffy.
  8. Frost cake: Frost the cooled cake layers and decorate as desired.
