WHITE CHOCOLATE & STRAWBERRY MUD CAKE

If you are a lover of white chocolate, then you will love this cake! It is dense and rich in flavor, layered with strawberry jam and coated in white chocolate ganache. Pure perfection :)

Ingredients :

• 250 g butter
• 200 g white chocolate
• 200 g sugar
• 180 ml milk
• 260 g flour
• 3 eggs
• 1 tsp baking powder

Place the butter, milk, white chocolate and sugar in a sauce pan and heat it up on low heat. Stir all the time till all is melted and combined, then let the mixture cool for 10 minutes.

Sieve the flour and baking powder into the mixture and mix gently with a whisk. Lightly beat the eggs and whisk them gently into the mixture.

Pour the batter into a 23 cm baking pan and bake at 180°C (350°F) for 1 hour and 10 minutes. The time may vary so check the cake with a skewer after an hour. Let the cake cool completly before decorating.

White chocolate ganache :

• 300 g white chocolate
• 100 ml whipping cream
• pink gel food coloring (optional)

Chop the chocolate into small pieces. Heat the cream till hot and pour over the chocolate. Let it sit for a minute then stirr to dissolve the chocolate and add the food coloring. To help it dissolve you can place the ganache into a microwave for 20-30 seconds. Let the ganache cool completly and place it in a freezer for 15 minutes. Whip the ganache with a hand mixer till pale and fluffy.

Cut the cake in half (here you can also cut out a desired shape). Spread some ganache on the bottom layer, then a few tbsp of strawberry jam on top and cover it with the second layer of the cake. Cover the whole cake in the ganache.

So easy and so tasty! Perfect cake :)
