If you don’t taste it, allow it to steep longer. Reheat if needed before you pour it over the chocolate. • • • 1️⃣. To make the ganache, mix together the heavy cream and lavender tea in a pot then allow to steep on very low heat for at least 10 minutes. Over a sieve, pour this over the white chocolate then allow to sit for 1 minute before mixing until smooth. Finish it off with the salt and blackberry purée if you decide to use it. Over with plastic wrap and chill for at least 4 hours. 2️⃣. For the cake, cream the softened butter, sugar, vanilla and ground Earl grey tea for 7 minutes. Add the eggs, canola oil and greek yogurt and whip until fluffy. In a separate bowl, sift the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Alternate between adding the dry ingredients and wet ingredients until you have a smooth batter. Pipe into a rectangular silicon mould and bake at 350 Fahrenheit for 15-20 minutes. Allow to cool. 3️⃣. Whip the chilled ganache for 1-2 minutes until fluffy, then pipe this overtop of the cake bars. Enjoy! _________________________ 🍽•Extra Tips & Advice•🍽 ➡️ Allowing the lavender to steep in the cream takes time, but it’s important to taste to see if the flavour comes through, if not, then steep it longer. ➡️ Using the ground Earl grey leaves ensures you get a nice even flavour throughout the cakes. ➡️ Be careful not to overwhip the ganache. All it takes is a minute or 2. ___________________________ If you would like to see more of my creations and recipes, check out my Instagram, Facebook and TikTok pages.
