Resurrection!
Testing continues. We've found our white chocolate. Gosh, it was a chore. The cake above is close to what it will finally look like. Let's call this one, "final draft."
Had to hunt and research about what white chocolate is made of...learnt a lot though.
Learnt that not all White chocolate is created equal. Basically, the white chocolate in places like TMC, Giant, et al are very very inferior makes. They contain lecithin as stabilisers and other vegetable oils. Vanillin (vanilla to you and me) and NO cocoa butter which gives it that delicate white chocolate taste. Also, too much oil and you get this oily, filmy feel in your mouth.
The upshot is we had to settle for this White Chocolate from this supplier which is beaucoup expensive, but gives a GREAT white chocolate flavour...especially when mixed with a citrus or fruit liqeur.
Now that we've figured out the alcoholic one, we've got to see what we can do with a NON-alcoholic version which will probably be the default one offered. Thinking Orange or lemon zest or a combination of the two. Yum!
POSSIBLE name of the new Cake - RESURRECTION! The sequel to the DEATH BY CHOCOLATE!
