White Chocolate Cake: In progress
July 20th, 2008 | by fish |I’ve just finished baking the sponges and making the icing for my white chocolate cake. After a suggestion from xugglybug I went to Whittards and got myself some white hot chocolate powder. It turns out that it’s mostly sugar, with some dried cocoa butter, so I mixed a couple of tablespoons with the sugar and butter at the beginning.
It smells nice.
The icing was, however, more problematic. After a slight disaster which resulted in InstaToffee, I’ve had to go for a slightly different approach. I was using condensed milk with the butter and icing sugar, which I’ve warmed and mixed in some Green and Black’s White Chocolate (yummy). However it needs constant stirring or the chocolate seperates and cracks. So I think I’m going to have to apply it whilst it’s still warm. Thankfully, the consistency is pretty good without needing to cool it too much, so I don’t think this should be a problem.
Pictures will be coming soon!
