Ingredients:


8 ounces white baking chocolate

1 cup butter (no substitutes), softened

2 1/4 cups sugar -- divided

5 large eggs

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon almond extract

3 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon baking soda

8 ounces sour cream

---GLAZE

4 pieces squares semisweet baking chocolate (1 ounce each) melted

4 pieces squares white baking chocolate (1 ounce each) melted

Preparation / Directions:


Chop four squares of white chocolate and melt the other four; set both aside. In a mixing bowl, cream butter and 2 cups sugar until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in extracts and the melted chocolate. Combine flour, baking powder, salt and baking soda; add to the creamed mixture alternately with sour cream. Beat just until combined. Grease a 10-in. fluted tube pan. Sprinkle with the remaining sugar. Pour a third of the batter into pan. Sprinkle with half of the chopped chocolate. Repeat. Pour remaining batter on top. Bake at 350 F for 55-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes; remove from pan to a wire rack to cool completely. Drizzle semisweet and white chocolate over cake. Garnish with strawberries if desired.
