- 9 ounces (255 grams) chopped butter
- 2 lightly beaten eggs
- 1 cup (240 milliliters) milk

Chocolate Components:
- 5 ounces (142 grams) chopped white chocolate
- 11 ounces (312 grams) chopped white chocolate
Cream Component:

Instructions
- Prepare cake tin by lining with parchment paper and warming oven to 170°C (325°F).
- Create smooth base by melting butter, white chocolate, sugar, and milk in saucepan, stirring continuously until fully integrated.
- Transfer melted mixture to mixing bowl and allow temperature to decrease for approximately 15 minutes.
- Incorporate dry ingredients by gently whisking flours, vanilla extract, and eggs into cooled mixture until thoroughly combined.
- Transfer batter carefully into prepared cake tin, covering loosely with aluminum foil to prevent excessive browning.
- Bake for one hour, maintaining consistent oven temperature.
- Remove foil during final baking stage and evaluate cake’s readiness using skewer or toothpick test.
- Allow cake to rest inside tin for 10 minutes, then carefully transfer to cooling rack.
- Prepare ganache by heating cream until boiling point, then pouring directly over white chocolate.
- Stir ganache mixture until achieving silky, uniform consistency.
- Refrigerate ganache for 30 minutes, periodically stirring to maintain smooth texture.
- Once cake has completely cooled, generously spread chilled ganache over entire surface.
Notes
- Use high-quality white chocolate for rich, creamy flavor that elevates the entire cake’s taste profile.
- Cover cake with loose foil during initial baking to prevent over-browning and ensure even, gentle cooking.
- Ensure ingredients like butter and eggs are at room temperature for smoother mixing and better cake texture.
- For gluten-free version, replace wheat flour with almond or gluten-free blend to accommodate dietary restrictions.
