Caramelised White Chocolate Cake

November 16, 2009 by Celia @ Fig Jam and Lime Cordial

I baked a variation of our favourite white chocolate cake, substituting 115g (4oz) of caramelised white chocolate for the melted chocolate in the cake batter. The end result was a moreish, dense cake with distinct caramel and toffee flavours. Big Boy was pretty chuffed with this!

Oh my!!!! Having tasted the infamous caramelised white chocolate, I can only imagine how good this must be. And if it has big boy’s approval it must be good. Just thinking about this has my mouth watering (literally).

  Aaaah, caramelised white chocolate was a Valrhona secret made public by the ever generous David Lebovitz. Here’s his original post :

  I wrote about it here and we also made it into bars here! I’m not a big white chocolate fan, but this is sooooo much better! :)

This magnificent photo greeted me 12 hours ago when I got to work … it was a sight for sore eyes. Unfortunately work distracted me and I am only reading the post now … you are a CWC advocate thru and thru. Hmmm now I am thinking that the acronym CWC should stand for Celia’s White Chocolate!

Celia,

Aside from a few misgivings in the crumb this is, perhaps the most beautiful thing I have seen you make.

  Wow, Cowboy, praise from the master! :)
  
  Some of those crumb misgivings are actually melted chunks of white chocolate, which were scattered throughout the cake batter. Of course, the others are just misgivings.. :)
  
  Cheers, Celia

Yummy yummy photos….Fantastic. I still have some caramelised white chocolate left and I’m thinking yoghurt cake with kumquat zest and some chocolate!
