Steps:
- Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Butter three 18cm sandwich cake tins and line with baking parchment. Beat together the butter, sugar, eggs, vanilla, baking powder and flour using a stand mixer or electric hand whisk until you have a fluffy mixture, about 5 mins. Fold in the white chocolate until it's well distributed throughout.
- Divide the mixture evenly between the tins and level out using a palette knife or the back of a spoon until smooth. Bake for 25-30 mins until a skewer inserted into the middle comes out clean. Remove from the oven and leave the sponges to cool in the tins for 10 mins, then remove from the tins and transfer to a cooling rack, top side down, and leave to cool completely. If the sponges are not level use a serrated knife to cut away the peaks.
- While the sponges are cooling, make the ganache. Put the white chocolate in a large bowl. Pour the cream into a saucepan over a medium heat and bring to a simmer. Immediately pour the cream over the chocolate and leave to stand for 4-5 mins until the chocolate has melted. Mix together to form a smooth ganache, ensuring all the chocolate has fully melted, then mix in the vanilla. Chill in the fridge for 30 mins, stirring occasionally so it doesn't completely harden, until spreadable and thick enough to coat the cake.
- Once the sponges are cool and the ganache has set to a spreadable consistency, you can construct the cake. Place one sponge on a serving plate, spread over a thin layer of the chocolate ganache, then fill the middle with a third of the raspberries. Place another sponge on top and repeat with a layer of ganache and another third of raspberries. Put the final sponge on top and gently coat the whole cake with a thin layer of ganache. Leave in the fridge to set for at least 20 mins. To finish, spread over any remaining ganache and top with the remaining raspberries. Will keep chilled for up to three days in an airtight container.

WHITE CHOCOLATE WEDDING CAKE
I made this cake for my wedding and received so many compliments. It was quite simple to make -- I made one cake two days before the wedding, two the day before and I iced it on my wedding morning! No one could believe I had done it myself, it looked and tasted so good. I actually made 4 cakes and the same quantity of icing worked. As I made the cakes at separate times, I only used one cake tin. We had 100 guests and there was still cake left over, although we had a dessert as well. I used Cointreu (orange liqueur) instead of Grand Marnier. Ingredients for cake are for one cake, so will need to be multiplied by how many cakes you are going to make. The frosting is for three cakes (or more even).

Steps:
- Grease and line the base and sides of 3 deep, round, 20cm cake tins with baking paper.
- Preheat oven to 160°C.
- Combine the chocolate, butter, sugar and milk in a saucepan over medium heat and stir until melted.
- Transfer the melted chocolate mixture in a large bowl and let cool slightly.
- Use a whisk to stir the orange zest, sifted flours, Grand Marnier and eggs into the chocolate mixture until you get a smooth batter.
- Pour batter into one of the tins and bake for 1 hour and 50 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the centre of the cake comes out clean.
- Cover the cake with foil halfway through baking to prevent over browning.
- Allow cake to cool in tin.
- Repeat the above steps for two more cakes (if cooking two at once you may need to extend the cooking time).
- To make the frosting: Melt the chocolate in a heat proof bowl over simmering water.
- Leave to cool.
- Place half the cream cheese and icing sugar in the small bowl of an electric mixer and beat until just smooth.
- Add the remaining cheese and sugar and beat again until smooth.
- Pour in the melted chocolate and beat until combined.
- Whip the cream until soft peaks form and fold it through cream cheese mixture.
- Cover the mixture and refrigerate for 1-2 hours until firm enough to spread.
- After refrigeration you may need to stir the mixture until smooth before spreading.
- To form wedding cake: Stack the cakes on a serving board or plate, sandwiching them together with about ¼ cup of the frosting each.
- Make sure the last cake is inverted so the base of the cake is on top for a completely flat surface.
- Secure the layers in place by inserting 3 skewers vertically through the cakes.
- Cut skewers down to size so they can be frosted over.
- Cover stacked cakes with remaining frosting.
- To serve: Carefully separate it back into 3 cakes removing the skewers.
- ***This cake can be iced the day before, or on the day, and refrigerated.
- It can be made up to 3 months in advance and frozen. Ice on the day.

Steps:
- DIRECTIONS:.
- Special Equipment:.
- Wilton 14", 10" & 6" cake pans.
- separator plates & columns.
- base plate or heavy cardboard base.
- 1/4" dowel rods, cut to size.
- pastry bags.
- icing decorator tips in various sizes.
- food paste coloring.
- Bridal cake topper.
- other non-edible decorations as desired.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Sift together the flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Set aside. In small saucepan, melt chopped white chocolate and hot water over low heat. Stir until smooth, and allow to cool to room temperature.
- In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well with each addition. Stir in flour mixture alternately with buttermilk. Mix in melted white chocolate and vanilla.
- Grease & flour pans. Divide batter into pans according to their volume measurements.
- (either measure volume by pouring water into each cake pan, or it may be marked on bottom of Wilton cake pans).
- Do not fill over 2/3 full.
- Bake 6" cakes for 30 to 35 minutes; bake 10" cakes for 35-40 minutes; bake 14" cakes for 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean.
- You will have to clean and re-use the pans to make the correct number of layers. Cool the cakes about 7-9 minutes in the pans, then remove them from the pans to wire racks. Allow to cool completely before frosting. Continue baking as above.
- When cool, brush crumbs from surface, frost thinly with a layer of buttercream to seal, then start with the 14" layers, placing them on a large serving platter (or foil wrapped heavy cardboard cut to match shape of your cake).
- Secure 14" layer with 5-7 1/4" dowel rods cut to the depth of the two cake layers. Insert the dowel rods in a circle (or match shape of next layer) 2" in from the edge of cake.
- Place a separator plate on top of dowel rods and place the 10" cake layers, frosted with buttercream on plate. Cut 3-5 dowel rods as before to the depth of the 10" cake layers. Stabilize middle layers with dowel rods placed in 5" circle(or match shape of cake).
- Place the 6" layers on a small separator plate, frost with buttercream and decorate layers as desired. Cover lightly with plastic wrap.
- Cake can be transferred at this point by wedging the two bottom layers into a box just larger than the serving platter and deeper than the layers.
- Place top layer in separate cake carrier (it should fit in a Tupperware or Rubbermaid carrier). Refrigerate cake until ready to serve.
- When setting up for reception, assemble separator plate with columns and place on top of second layer to settle the top layer.
- Have extra icing on hand to repair decorations as needed. Place bridal topper on top of cake, and use fresh or silk flowers or other non-edible decorations as desired.
