White Chocolate Macadamia

Remember me mentioning I bought few cookbooks recently? Well, again from the book 'Baking Code' by Alex Goh, I found a recipe which I've been searching for. I tried to google and also search in food blogs but couldn't find this recipe.."White Chocolate Macadamia" cake. This cake is me & my youngest son's favourite and it's sold in Secret Recipe.

The verdict after baking this cake?? My son said "hmm taste better than Secret Recipes but mom, you gotta work on the white Chocolate" (which is the ganache). I found that  next day, the cake will be much easier to cut due the the setting of the white chocolate ganache.
If you love this cake, do give it a try!
