Strawberry White Chocolate Cake

Happy Monday guys! Recipe of the day is Strawberry White Chocolate Cake – a gorgeous dessert celebrating strawberry season. 🙂

What you need:

Ingredients:

For the layers:

For the cream & custard filling:

For the white chocolate ganache:

Preparation:

Preheat the oven to 180°C.
In a bowl, whisk the egg whites with the salt until peaks form.
Whisk in the sugar, gradually. Then, add the egg yolks, one by one, whisking the mixture meanwhile.
Stir in the dry ingredients, slowly, using a wooden spoon.
Pour half of the mixture into a cake tin, covered with baking parchment, greased and dusted with some flour.
Bake in the oven for about 30 minutes and leave to completely cool. Repeat with the rest of the mixture.
Once it’s cool, cut the layers in two so you end up with 4 layers. I used three, save the extra on and serve it with some cream for a treat.
To make the cream and custard filling – whisk the cream until thick, add the custard and mix well.
For the white chocolate ganache – melt the white chocolate and cream and the food colouring and leave to cool and thicken.
To assemble the cake – on a cake stand place the bottom layer and spread strawberry jam on top. Place the middle layer and spread the cream and custard filling and cover with the third layer.
Coat the cake evenly with the white chocolate ganache.
Decorate with some fresh strawberries.
Place in the fridge overnight. Remove from the fridge 10-15 minutes before serving.
