Chocolate Almond Cake with White chocolate ganache

 

I enjoy making birthday cakes for family birthdays. This is one of its kind. I have come up this this recipe and it’s simply delicious. Wait till you read the ingredients.

Ingredients for the cake batter:

1. 2 cups AP flour
2. 1cup almond flour
3. 3/4 cup Organic Unsweetened Cocoa powder
4. 2 large eggs
5. 1stick butter
6. 1 cup vanilla flavor yogurt 
7. 2 cups granulated sugar
8. dash of pink salt
9. 1/4 tsp baking soda
10. a tiny pinch baking powder
11. 1 tsp vanilla essence 
12. Confetti to sprinkle

Ingredients for white chocolate ganache:

1. 3cups Ghirardelli white chocolate chips
2. 1/2 stick butter
3. 2-3 drops Rum Extract essence
4. 1-2 drops vanilla essence

Utensils: Silicone spatula, cake mould

Take your mixing bowl. Add all your dry flours through a sifter. Add all the wet ingredients in a separate bowl. 

Beat eggs well then add vanilla essence to it along with sugar and butter. See to it your butter is liquified before adding it to the flour.

Incorporate all the wet ingredients into the dry ones and swirl them with your spatula for 5-7 mins. This ensures you don’t get the egg aftertaste in your cake. I prefer it that way.

Preheat your oven 350ºF. 

Pour your mixture in the cake mould and place it in the oven for 40 mins.

Take a glass bowl good for microwave, add white chocolate chips and butter to it. Melt it in microwave and check every 30secs and stir till it smoothes out completely. Add 2-3 drops of rum extract and couple drops vanilla essence to it.

Get the cake out of the oven and let it rest for 30-40 mins before you flip it out carefully onto a plate.

Now it ready for the ganache to be poured over it. If your ganache is too thick, you can use a spatula for spreading it over your cake. You can spread it out evenly or keep it rustic. Then sprinkle the confetti over the cake before you refrigerate it. Thaw the cake for at least 30-40 mins. before serving.

ENJOY this homemade YUMMY cake with your family and friends anytime!!!
