Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 150 g of white chocolate chopped
  • 250 g of butter chopped
  • 2 cups of caster sugar
  • 1 cup of milk
  • 1/2 cup of self-raising flour
  • 1/4 cup of desiccated coconut
  • 11/4 cups of plain flour
  • 1/2 tsp of vanilla extract
  • 2 eggs

Instructions

Method

  1. Preheat your oven to 160 degrees celsius.
  2. Grease and line two 20cm round cake tins. (I used a heart-shaped tin this time which worked perfectly well).
  3. Combine the chopped butter and chocolate in a good-sized saucepan. Add the milk and caster sugar and cook, stirring over low heat until melted together and smooth.
  4. Transfer the mixture to a large bowl and allow to cool.
  5. Whisk in the flours, coconut, vanilla and eggs.
  6. Pour the mixture into your tins.
  7. Cook in the oven for around 1 1/2 hours (or 2 hours if you use one large tin) covering the top with foil after around one hour to ensure that the top does not burn.
  8. Allow the cake to cool before turning out then cover with White Chocolate Ganache.
