White Chocolate Cake made for a Valentine

 

9oz butter

5 oz white chocolate

9oz caster sugar

splosh of milk

6oz flour

4oz self raising flour

1tsp vanilla essence

2 eggs

 

Preheat oven to 170C/Gas 3. Grease then coat a tin with cocoa powder. I used a ring shaped tin but any shape would be fine. Heat the butter, chocolate and sugar on a low heat until smooth. Mix in the remaining ingredients and bake for about 45 minutes or until golden brown. Leave to cool.

 

To make the ganache, melt 200g dark chocolate together with 200ml double cream until smooth and shiny. The measurements don't have to be too precise. Cover the cake with the ganache and fill the hole with raspberries.

 

I then decorated the cake with broken Cadbury Flake and a white chocolate heart. For the heart, I melted some left over white chocolate, piped it into a heart shape and allowed to set.
