This sensational cake is my number one favourite from The Caker.
Ingredients
Cake
- 300g olivani
- 300g sugar
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 6 eggs
- 200g flour
- 200g ground almonds
- Pinch of sea salt
- 4 tsp baking powder
- 260g greek yoghurt
- Zest of 1 large orange
- 165g white chocolate chips
- 390g fresh or frozen blueberries
Maple Cream Cheese Icing
- 400g cream cheese
- Juice of 1/2 lime or lemon
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 6 TBS maple syrup
To Top
- Blueberries
- White chocolate
Method
- Preheat oven to 180 celcius.
- Line 3 22cm cake tins with baking paper (I usually grease them as well).
- Cream the olivani and sugar until pale, light and fluffy.
- Add the vanilla and then the eggs, one at a time, beating until combined between each addition.
- Sift in the flour, ground almonds, salt and baking powder. Mix in, along with the yoghurt and orange zest. Be careful not to overmix.
- Evenly divide the batter between the 3 tins, and dot the white chocolate and blueberries, pressing them down so they’re mostly the same level or lower than the batter.
- Bake for ~30 minutes or until golden brown and a skewer comes out clean.
- Allow cakes to cool for approximately 10 minutes before turning out onto a rack.
- Meanwhile, make the icing. First beat the cream cheese until smooth and continue to add the rest of the ingredients.
- Once the layers are cool, spread a thin layer of icing onto one layer and place another layer on top. Do the same with the the the last layer to form a three layer cake, and ice the top of the cake.
- Top with blueberries and white chocolate. If you use frozen blueberries on top, as they melt the colour melts down into the cake creating neat patterns.
- Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
