Ingredients

Cake

  • 150 grams / 5.3 ounces butter softened
  • 150 grams / ¾ cup caster/superfine sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 135 grams / 3 medium eggs room temperature
  • 115 grams / ½ cup sour cream
  • 100 grams / 3.5 ounces white chocolate
  • ½ teaspoon nutmeg freshly ground
  • 400 grams / 2 ½ cups plain flour
  • 5 grams / 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 8 grams / 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 150 grams / ⅓ pound blackberries

Glaze

  • 70 grams / 2.5 ounces white chocolate
  • 30 grams / 2 tablespoons butter
  • 170 grams / 1 ½ cups confectioner’s/icing sugar sifted
  • 40 grams / 2 tablespoons milk

Instructions

Cake

  • Preheat the oven to 180°C/350F. Butter a bundt tin and sprinkle over a light layer of flour, tap to remove excess. Place the butter, sugar and vanilla extract in a bowl and whip until light and fluffy, approximately 3 minutes.
  • Add the eggs and whip until well combined and smooth, approximately 2 minutes.
  • Spoon in the the sour cream and whip until just combined and the mixture looks lightly curdled.
  • Meanwhile, place the white chocolate and nutmeg in a double boiler or microwave, stirring often to ensure even melting.
  • Remove from the heat and allow to cool for 5 minutes, then add into the cake batter and combine well.
  • Sift the flour, baking powder and soda into the mixture and fold until smooth and no dry patches remain.
  • In a separate bowl, roughly mash the blackberries roughly and fold into your cake batter.
  • Pour into the prepared bundt tin and bake for 50 minutes or until a skewer comes out clean and it is lightly browned on top.
  • Remove from the oven and leave to cool for approximately 15 minutes, to the point where it has come loose from the edges of the tin.
  • Invert onto a cooling rack and allow to cool fully.

Glaze

  • Place the chocolate and butter into a double boiler or microwave, stirring until melted and smooth.
  • Add the confectioner’s sugar and milk and stir until smooth.
  • Slowly pour over the cake evenly until your the top portions of cake are fully coated.
  • Allow to set before slicing and serving alongside your favorite hot drink.
  • Dig in!

Notes

  • Chocolate: 27% cocoa white chocolate block was used here because it is a higher quality than baking chocolate and controls the level of sweetness in the cookies better. The higher the cocoa content the creamier our white chocolate which results in a smooth profile once baked versus a floury end texture.
  • Blackberries: Fresh are easiest to use here as frozen will hold more water. You could alternatively, defrost frozen berries and sit in a strainer to drip out excess moisture once you’ve lightly crushed.
  • Don't overmix: As is always recommended with any cake batter, the less you mix once the flour has been added the lighter your cake crumb so really fold in the berries slowly and methodically without beating the batter.
