- 150g white chocolate
- 150ml cream
- 30g butter
- Red food colouring
CAKE
- 125g caster sugar
- 125g butter
- 1 large egg
- 60g golden syrup
- 200g plain flour
- 6g baking powder
- 6g bi-carbonate soda
- 35g cocoa powder
- 250g plain yoghurt
- 85ml milk
- 3 x packets of jaffas
DIRECTIONS
WHITE CHOCOLATE GANACHE
- In a heavy based saucepan, heat the cream and butter then take off the heat. Add the white chocolate and stir until melted and combined. Set aside to cool completely.
- When cold, whisk until light and fluffy.
- Keep ¼ cup of the whipped ganache for the inside of the cake and add red food colouring to the remaining ¾ cup.
- Set aside until required.
CAKE
- Pre-heat oven to 160°C.
- Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Add the egg and beat until well incorporated. Drizzle in the golden syrup whilst beating.
- Sift the flour, baking powder, bi-carbonate soda and cocoa powder together. Fold into the butter mixture alternately with the milk and yoghurt.
- Spray your dome cake tins with baking spray and put a 5cm x 5cm piece of greaseproof paper in the base.
- Put 2 cups of cake batter into each cake tin and bake for 35 minutes or until a skewer comes out clean.
- Let cake cool in the cake tin for 5 minutes, then cool completely on a rack.
- When cool, cut in half and spread the inside with the reserved ¼ cup of whipped white chocolate ganache. Place the top back onto the cake and ice with the red whipped ganache.
- Place the cakes onto the intended serving plate as it is difficult to transport from plate to plate once decorated.
- Cover the entire cake with jaffas. Start with a straight line through the middle and then continue from there.
- When finshed, draw a face with whiteboard marker on the surrounding plate area. Serve.
