Spectacular is not usually a word I use. But, I made this cake for my partner to take to work, and spectacular is the word he used to describe it. Now, to put this in perspective, my darling partner is not usually one for superlatives. However, to be fair, this was a mighty tasty cake.
For white chocolate lovers, I don't think you can get much better. All up, this cake (including icing), has almost 1kg of white chocolate! Yum!
The feedback I received from the other workmates was also favourable - "best so far", "very moist", "you should open a cafe". I was chuffed!
I was impressed by how deliciously moist the cake was. It was a couple of days old by the time I got around to icing it and sending it off with my partner, and it just seemed to improve with age.
I iced the cake with a white chocolate ganache and coated the edges with white chocolate shavings. I made the shavings using a potato peeler, running it along the long edge of a block of chocolate. In the centre of the cake, I mixed white chocolate ganache, whipped cream and Baileys. Yum!
Unfortunately the photos did not come out that well, but I can assure you it was pretty amazing!
My word that looks absolutely delicious Carina. White chocolate has always been a weakness of mine, and to have a kilo of it moulded into cake form is just drool-inducing! :+) PFB
