Perfect for special occasions or a luxurious treat, this layered cake combines rich flavors and a soft, moist texture that will leave your taste buds craving for more.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- In a medium saucepan, combine the butter, white chocolate, and water.
- Place the saucepan over low heat, stirring continuously until the butter and chocolate melt completely and the mixture is smooth.
- Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the sugar and eggs until well combined and slightly frothy.
- Slowly pour the cooled white chocolate mixture into the egg mixture, whisking continuously until fully combined.
- Sift the all-purpose flour and self-raising flour over the mixture. Gently fold the flour into the wet ingredients using a spatula until no dry flour is visible. Be careful not to overmix.
- Fold in the passion fruit pulp until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Divide the batter evenly between the two prepared cake pans.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean.
- Once baked, remove the cakes from the oven and allow them to cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Place one layer of the cake on your serving platter or cake stand.
- Spread half of the whipped cream evenly over the first cake layer.
- Gently place the second cake layer on top.
- Spread the remaining whipped cream on the top of the cake.
- Optionally, you can decorate with additional passion fruit pulp, white chocolate shavings, or fresh fruit.
- Chill the cake in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld and the cream to set.
- Slice and serve your White Chocolate & Passionfruit Layer Cake, and enjoy!
Tips:
- Use high-quality white chocolate: Opt for a good quality white chocolate as it greatly influences the flavor and texture of the cake.
- Fresh passionfruit: Using fresh passionfruit will provide the best flavor. Make sure to strain the seeds if you prefer a smoother texture.
- Properly cream the butter and sugar: Ensure the butter is at room temperature before creaming with sugar to achieve a light and fluffy texture.
- Do not overmix the batter: Mix the batter until just combined to avoid a dense and heavy cake.
- Check for doneness: Insert a toothpick into the center of the cake layers; it should come out clean or with a few crumbs attached when done.
- Layering tips: Allow the cake layers to cool completely before frosting and assembling to prevent the frosting from melting.
Your White Chocolate & Passionfruit Layer Cake is now ready to be enjoyed. This decadent dessert, with its perfect balance of sweetness and tartness, is sure to impress your family and friends. Serve it chilled or at room temperature for a delightful treat.
