White Chocolate Charlotte

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 180°C. Grease a 25cm round cake pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.

   Tip: Use a non-stick pan for easy cake removal.

2. 2

   In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add the unsalted butter and mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

   Tip: Make sure to not overmix the mixture.

3. 3

   In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and white chocolate until smooth. Add the heavy cream and whisk until combined.

   Tip: Make sure the white chocolate is melted and smooth before adding the cream.

4. 4

   Add the flour mixture to the egg mixture and whisk until just combined. Do not overmix.

   Tip: The batter should still be slightly lumpy.

5. 5

   Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

   Tip: Let the cake cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

6. 6

   While the cake is cooling, prepare the caramel sauce by melting the caster sugar and unsalted butter in a small saucepan over medium heat.

   Tip: Use a candy thermometer to monitor the temperature of the sauce.

7. 7

   Once the cake is completely cool, use a serrated knife to level the top. Drizzle the caramel sauce over the cake and sprinkle with fresh raspberries and unsalted almonds.

   Tip: Serve the cake chilled and enjoy.

8. 8

   To make the mousse, whip the white chocolate and heavy cream in a large bowl until stiff peaks form. Fold the mousse over the top of the cake to create a layered effect.

   Tip: Make sure to not overmix the mousse.

9. 9

   Repeat the layering process two more times, ending with a layer of mousse on top.

   Tip: Use a spatula to create a smooth surface.

10. 10

    Refrigerate the cake for at least 2 hours or overnight before serving.

    Tip: The cake will set and be easier to slice.

11. 11

    Slice the cake into 6 equal pieces and serve chilled.

    Tip: Enjoy your delicious white chocolate charlotte!
