I’m so excited to share my first ever Battenberg Cake with White Chocolate Ganache. A Battenberg Cake is a perfect cake to serve with tea and looks absolutely amazing. If there is one thing that my mom loves, it’s tea. One of the first gifts she ever gave Riley was a tiny tea set. Riley has always made the connection between tea and her grandma. This cake would work wonders for any Mother’s Day dessert. It honestly is just breathtaking with it’s pearl dragees on top and two tone sponge cake.

Jenny,
Your battenberg cake looks lovely. I’ve never made one but would love to try it.

Thank you so much Annamaria. I originally planned on using marzipan so it was a last minute switch to go with the white chocolate plastique and ganache.

Wow how pretty! And I love the sound of a white chocolate ganache. This is almost too elegant to eat!
Jenny Melrose
You are too sweet! I was extremely proud of the cake. We brought it to my parents house for Easter and I made my husband hold it on his lap the entire 40 minute drive.

Thanks so much Dorothy. Mid way through I thought it was going to be a disaster, but I loved the way it came out.

Oooh! So pretty! And the sponge looks so moist and delicious. I love white chocolate in just about any form and this cake just doubles the pleasure with the plastique and the ganache. Win/win!! Thanks for sharing it!
