Papaya Cake with White Chocolate Ganache

I always say that time goes by too fast & now it's the year 2017....Happy new year to all my readers thanking every one who has stopped by this little blog to check out what I've been posting this year😊 I'm very lazy & not good @ writing but want to write all my childhood memories & tips i learnt from my parents& I'm always stuck wondering how to write but i enjoy blogging & coming back to this month recipe is papaya cake with white chocolate ganache seems so elegant  😀  

Papaya is not my favorite fruit especially the raw ones but i have ripe papaya daily it's good for digestion... Due to the high amount of vitamins & nutrients that papaya contain the immune system will be boosted if  it's eaten frequently....But the kids are very fussy about this fruit, so it's best to make a papaya milkshake or a papaya cake 😉 

Overripe papaya are too messy to eat & it's not too often i have an overripe papayas  but once in a while it happens.I never experimented with papayas, when cakes are made with overripe bananas then why not with papayas... I decided to try baking a papaya sake & I've never eaten a papaya cake...So i used a simple cake recipe ( instead of butter i used oil )& mixed the papaya puree in the cake batter & pushed into the oven ..i was worried how it would come out...It came out good 👌 & i was proud that i made a papaya cake but when i checked the google if there was any papaya cake i was disappointed 😞 it threw up so many papaya cake recipes....I'm sure mine is different but anyway this is a gr8 recipe to make use of  overripe papayas... 😊

 I've never been one to try my hand @ decorating cakes but i wanted to glaze the cake with something easy, it took me nearly 1/2 an hr & got the idea to use white chocolate as i had white cooking chocolate & cream in my fridge that's it white chocolate ganache ...
Here's the recipe papaya cake with white chocolate ganache....

Ingredients :

• 200 gm maida.
• 1/3 cup oil or 1/2 cup butter.
• 1 & 1/2 cup sugar.
• 4 eggs.
• 1/2 cup milk or cream.
• 1 tsp cardamom powder.
• 2 level tsp baking powder.
• 100 gm overripe papaya.

For the ganache :

• 100 gm white cooking chocolate.
• 1& 1/4 cup cream or more if required.
• 3/4  cup ripe papaya diced to garnish.

Method :

• Sieve the maida & baking powder & keep aside.
• Blend the papaya to a puree.

• Preheat the oven 210 c ..Grease a baking dish or line it with butter paper/ parchment paper.
• Separate the egg yolk & white.
• Beat the egg white stiff in a separate bowl.   

• In a bowl whisk  the sugar oil & egg yolk together adding one egg yolk at a time...( if your using butter whip the butter & sugar & cream together then add the egg yolk one by one & beat till creamy).

• Add the papaya puree to the egg mixture & mix well.

• Add the dry ingredients ( maida & baking powder) & 1/8 cup milk or cream & whisk well.

• Add the stiff egg white & cut & fold slowly till well mixed...

• For the ganache - Heat the cream in slow flame when it's hot off the flame & add in the white chocolate, let it melt....Once it's cool whisk the chocolate till smooth...( it should be thick but spreadable if not u can add little cream) keep aside.

• Once the cake is cooled cut in two layers.... 

• One side of the cake add a layer of diced papaya ( reserve a few for garnishing ) then spread a layer of cream.

• Top  with second layer cake( like a sandwich)..
• Now spread the white chocolate ganache on top of the cake & sides of the cake to seal the crumbs.

• Sprinkle the rest of the diced papaya on top of the cake & chill for 30-45 min...😋
