Preparation
Step 1
In a saucepan, combine evaporated milk and 4 ounces of white chocolate. Heat on low heat, stirring, until chocolate is melted. Set aside to cool to room temperature.
Step 2
In a mixing bowl, cream 1 cup of butter with the granulated white sugar. Gradually add eggs one at a time and beat this mixture very well.
Step 3
In another bowl, mix the flour, baking soda and salt. Add it bit by bit to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk/chocolate mixture. Continue beating just until combined. Pour batter into a well greased and floured 10 inch bundt pan. Bake at 325F for one hour. Cool for 10 minutes in the pan then remove and allow to cool on a wire rack.
Step 4
In a saucepan, melt the remaining 3 ounces of white chocolate with 1/4 cup butter over low heat until smooth. Remove from heat and add 2 cups of icing sugar, the vanilla and the milk to make a glaze. Drizzle over cake.
You can make this more festive in appearance by crushing some red & green candycanes and sprinkling those on top of the glaze before it sets. :-)
