This cake is a waste of ingredients. The cake was dry and flavorless, and the white chocolate ganache was too thick and heavy. I would not recommend this recipe.

I followed the recipe exactly and the cake turned out terrible. The cake was dense and heavy, and the white chocolate ganache was grainy. I would not recommend this recipe.
