Description
You know how most chocolate cakes are all about the dark stuff? Well, this one’s for the white chocolate lovers. It’s buttery, sweet without being over-the-top, and covered in a dreamy white chocolate ganache that feels like it came straight out of a bakery window.
Ingredients
Cake:
- 150g white chocolate, chopped
- 150g butter, softened
- 2 large eggs
- 100g caster sugar
- 300g self-raising flour (sifted)
- 250ml milk
Ganache:
- 250g white chocolate, roughly chopped
- 250ml double-thick cream
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F).
- Grease and line an 18cm cake tin with parchment, then dust lightly with flour.
- Place the tin on a baking sheet (white chocolate cake batter can bubble and spill).
- Put 150g white chocolate and 150g butter in a heatproof bowl.
- Set it over a pan of barely simmering water and stir until smooth. Remove from heat and let it cool for 5 minutes.
- In a separate bowl, beat 2 eggs with 100g caster sugar until pale and fluffy.
- Fold in the cooled chocolate-butter mix.
- Sift in 300g self-raising flour, then slowly add 250ml milk and stir until smooth. Don’t overmix.
- Pour the batter into the prepared tin.
- Bake for about 45 minutes, or until a skewer comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool in the tin for 10 minutes, then move to a wire rack.
Ganache:
- Heat 250ml cream in a small saucepan until it just starts to simmer.
- Pour over 250g chopped white chocolate in a bowl.
- Let it sit for 3 minutes, then stir until glossy.
- Cool at room temperature until it thickens enough to spread.
- Spread ganache over the cooled cake with a spatula or palette knife. Keep it rustic or go smooth—it’s up to you.
Bakers Tips
- White chocolate is delicate, melt it slowly and low.
- If your ganache feels too runny, chill it for 20 minutes until it thickens.
- Leftover ganache? Chill for 2 hours, roll into truffles, and dust with cocoa or powdered sugar.
