Spray two 8-inch cake tins with oil spray and line the bottom with baking paper.Add the flour, baking powder and salt to a large mixing bowl and use a whisk to combine.Add the milk and chocolate to a heat proof jug and microwave for 2 minutes. Use a whisk or spoon to mix until chocolate is fully melted.Add the butter, sugar and vanilla extract to a large mixing bowl and use an electric mixer to beat until pale and fluffy. About 3 minutes. Add half the dry ingredients and half the wet ingredients and mix on low speed until combined. Repeat with the remaining wet and dry ingredients.Split the batter between the two baking tins and bake both cakes in the middle rack for 40 minutes. Once baked, allow to cool completely.White Chocolate Swiss MeringueAdd the chocolate and heavy cream to a heat proof mixing bowl and microwave for 1 minute, stir and then 30 seconds each time after that, mixing each time until smooth. Set aside to cool at room temperature.Fill a large saucepan one-quarter of the way with water. Let it come to a gentle boil over a mediumhigh heat.Separate your egg whites from your yolks in a large, very clean, glass or metal mixing bowl. We only need the egg whites for this recipe, so you can store the yolks in an airtight container in the fridge to use for something else. If you need ideas, there are loads on the internet, but my go-to recipe for using up egg yolks is French pastry cream. Yum!Add your sugar to the egg whites to the mixing bowl and use a hand whisk to mix them together.Place your bowl on top of the pan of boiling water, making sure the bottom of the bowl doesnt touch the water. This is called the double-boiler method and is a very gentle way of cooking something or melting something. Gently whisk your egg white and sugar mixture for about 34 minutes, or until the sugar is completely dissolved and you reach 160C / 320F. The best way to check that its dissolved is by running it through two fingers. If you cant feel the sugar granules, then its time to take it off the heat. If you can feel the granules, continue whisking for another 23 minutes and keep testing until you can no longer any granules. Transfer the mixture to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment and whisk on high speed for about 45 minutes. The mixture will become thick and glossy and will begin to cool.Gradually add the softened butter, 1 tablespoon at a time, while the mixer is on high speed. At first, your egg whites will deflate and look like the butter is causing them to split, but dont panic! It will come back together. It takes a couple of minutes for the butter and meringue to become best friends.Once you have added all the butter, add the vanilla extract and mix first on low speed to combine, then on high speed for 5 minutes. Youll know its done when the frosting has come together, has turned pale in color (if youre making vanilla) and is nice and fluffy.To finish, add the white chocolate and mix until well combined.AssemblyUse a large, serrated knife or cake leveler to trim the tops of your cakes off and then trim in half. Add some frosting to your serving plate and use an offset spatula to spread around. By the way, you can totally do this with a spoon instead.Add your first layer of cake and then add some frosting on top. Spread the frosting around evenly before adding the next layer of cake. Repeat that until you have all your cake layers on.Take it out of the fridge and add the final layer of frosting. This doesnt need to look perfect. I went for the rustic look and I think it looks beautiful.StorageCake can be stored in an airtight container for up to three days.TIMESTAMPS00:00 - SPONSOR00:03 - INTRO00:21 - MILK AND CHOCOLATE00:31 - MAKING THE BATTER01:00 - SUBSCRIBE!01:10 - MAKING THE BATTER01:49 - SPONSORSHIP03:25 - FROSTING04:58 - DECORATING THE CAKE06:21 - OUTRO#thescranline #whitechocolate #mudcake
