WHITE CHOCOLATE CAKE

If you're celebrating a special occasion, this layer cake makes a great centrepiece. It's topped with silky white chocolate ganache and fresh raspberries

Provided by Liberty Mendez

Categories     Dessert

Time 1h25m

Yield Serves 16-18

Number Of Ingredients 11

300g butter, softened, plus extra for the tins
300g caster sugar
5 large eggs, beaten
1 tsp vanilla bean paste
1 tsp baking powder
300g self-raising flour
100g white chocolate, finely chopped
350g fresh raspberries, halved
450g white chocolate, finely chopped
200ml double cream
1 tbsp vanilla paste

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Butter three 18cm sandwich cake tins and line with baking parchment. Beat together the butter, sugar, eggs, vanilla, baking powder and flour using a stand mixer or electric hand whisk until you have a fluffy mixture, about 5 mins. Fold in the white chocolate until it's well distributed throughout.
  • Divide the mixture evenly between the tins and level out using a palette knife or the back of a spoon until smooth. Bake for 25-30 mins until a skewer inserted into the middle comes out clean. Remove from the oven and leave the sponges to cool in the tins for 10 mins, then remove from the tins and transfer to a cooling rack, top side down, and leave to cool completely. If the sponges are not level use a serrated knife to cut away the peaks.
  • While the sponges are cooling, make the ganache. Put the white chocolate in a large bowl. Pour the cream into a saucepan over a medium heat and bring to a simmer. Immediately pour the cream over the chocolate and leave to stand for 4-5 mins until the chocolate has melted. Mix together to form a smooth ganache, ensuring all the chocolate has fully melted, then mix in the vanilla. Chill in the fridge for 30 mins, stirring occasionally so it doesn't completely harden, until spreadable and thick enough to coat the cake.
  • Once the sponges are cool and the ganache has set to a spreadable consistency, you can construct the cake. Place one sponge on a serving plate, spread over a thin layer of the chocolate ganache, then fill the middle with a third of the raspberries. Place another sponge on top and repeat with a layer of ganache and another third of raspberries. Put the final sponge on top and gently coat the whole cake with a thin layer of ganache. Leave in the fridge to set for at least 20 mins. To finish, spread over any remaining ganache and top with the remaining raspberries. Will keep chilled for up to three days in an airtight container.

White Chocolate Ganache Filling image

This recipe yields enough ganache to fill about ninety-five chocolates.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Number Of Ingredients 2

2 cups heavy cream
21 ounces white chocolate, chopped into very small pieces

Steps:

  • Heat cream in a medium saucepan over low heat until just about to boil.
  • Place chocolate in a bowl. Pour hot cream over; stir until melted. Let cool, stirring occasionally. Beat mixture with paddle attachment of an electric mixer or with a handheld mixer for about 3 minutes, just until it is a mousse-like consistency; use immediately.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality white chocolate. This will ensure that your ganache is smooth and flavorful. Look for a white chocolate that is at least 30% cocoa butter.
  • Chop the white chocolate finely. This will help it melt evenly and smoothly. You can use a sharp knife or a food processor to chop the chocolate.
  • Heat the cream gently. Do not bring it to a boil, as this will cause the cream to curdle. You can heat the cream in a saucepan over medium heat or in the microwave.
  • Pour the hot cream over the chopped white chocolate. Stir constantly until the chocolate is melted and smooth. You can use a whisk or a spatula to stir the ganache.
  • Let the ganache cool slightly before using. This will allow it to thicken and set. You can speed up the cooling process by placing the ganache in the refrigerator or freezer for a few minutes.

Conclusion:

White chocolate ganache is a versatile and delicious ingredient that can be used in a variety of desserts. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a few simple tips, you can make a perfect white chocolate ganache that will impress your friends and family.
