White Chocolate Gateau: White Chocolate Day

White Chocolate Gateau: by Gregg Wallace for White Chocolate Day. Hello, lovelies. So how are you today? (Updated post. First published here 17th July 2016).

Hello friends, happy white chocolate day. So do you love white chocolate? Because I do! ( But then again, I love all cake and chocolate!). White Chocolate Gateau anyone?

How To Make A White Chocolate Gateau:

White Chocolate Gateau was created by Gregg Wallace.

Preparation time 45 minutes, plus cooling
Cooking time 25–30 minutes

Serves 12

Ingredients:

Butter, for greasing
4 eggs
125 g (4 oz) caster sugar
125 g (4 oz) plain flour
50 g (2 oz) Divine White Chocolate, finely grated

To Finish:

3 tablespoons rosewater or 2–3 drops rose essence
150 ml (1⁄4 pint) crème fraîche
200 g (7 oz) Divine White Chocolate, broken into pieces
75 g (3 oz) unsalted butter
3 tablespoons single cream, at room temperature
125 g (4 oz) icing sugar
White chocolate curls
Sugared rose petals (optional)
Sifted icing sugar, for dusting

Method:

Firstly, grease and line the bases of two 20 cm (8 inches) round sandwich tins. Whisk the eggs and caster sugar together in a large bowl using a hand-held electric whisk until thick enough to leave a trail when the whisk is lifted.
Sift the flour into the bowl. Add the grated chocolate and fold in using a large metal spoon.
Divide the mixture between the prepared tins and bake in a preheated oven, 180°C (350°F), Gas Mark 4, for 20–25 minutes until just firm to the touch. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.
Stir the rosewater into the crème fraîche and use to sandwich the 2 cakes together on a serving plate.
Put the white chocolate and butter in a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of barely simmering water so that the base of the bowl is not touching the water and leave until melted. Allow to cool, then stir in the cream and icing sugar and beat until smooth. Leave the mixture to cool further until it forms soft peaks, then spread over the top and side of the cake using a palette knife.
Last but not least, decorate the top of the cake with white chocolate curls, sugared rose petals, if you like, and a light dusting of icing sugar.

Gregg’s Tip:

The sugared rose petals decorating this cake enhance the subtle rosewater flavouring. To make, lightly brush fresh rose petals with beaten egg white and dust them with caster sugar. Leave to dry on non-stick greaseproof paper for 1–2 hours before using.
