Cooking Steps

1
1

• Preheat oven to 180°C/160°C fan-forced. Grease and line the loaf tin with baking paper. • Measure 200g butter and set aside at room temperature to soften.

• In a large bowl, add measured caster sugar and the softened butter. Beat with electric beaters until light and fluffy, 2-3 minutes. • Add the eggs and beat until smooth, 1-2 minutes. • Using a spoon, fold in basic sponge mix and the milk until just combined.

TIP: Softened butter is easier to beat and helps your cake have a light texture!

• Pour cake batter into the lined loaf tin. Bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour. Set aside to cool completely in the tin.

TIP: To check if the cake is done, stick a toothpick or skewer in the centre. It should come out clean.

• While the cake is cooling, place white chocolate chips in a medium heatproof bowl. • In a small saucepan, heat cream (see ingredients) over medium heat until just steaming, 1-2 minutes. Pour cream over chocolate, then stir until melted and combined. Refrigerate until thickened, 20-30 minutes.
