• Make a delicate tea-time cake with this easy shortcut

    Makes 1 cake EASY 45 mins

    Take 1 box ready-to-mix vanilla cake. Add 5ml (1 tsp) allspice, 2,5ml (½ tsp) ground nutmeg, 2,5ml (½ tsp) ground cloves and 5ml (1 tsp) ground cinnamon to the dry ingredients. Prepare the cake according to the box instructions and leave to cool completely when done. To make the white ganache, melt 250g milk chocolate over a double boiler, remove from the heat, add 200ml fresh cream and whisk until well combined. Pour the white ganache over the sponge cake, smoothing the surface by quickly going over the cake with a blowtorch. Allow to set for 20 minutes in the freezer before cutting. Serve with dark chocolate shavings
