The Whiplash Cake at Sucrose is so good it converted white chocolate haters at Sauce into lovers. Crunchy toffee bits suspended in white chocolate serve as foundation for a perfect circle of light brown butter cake made with almond flour and ground pecans. The richness of the toffee and nuts complements the sweet, creamy white chocolate, which also tops the cake, along with dollops of brown butter buttercream for a perfect, savory-sweet ending to any holiday meal.
