"Hello, my name is White Chocolate Mousse Cake and I'm wonderful."
When Daniel and I went to Seattle last summer, Kent sent us to Salty's on Alki Beach for dinner, and we had the cake above for dessert. The memory of this cake hasn't left me since then, so imagine my surprise and delight to discover Salty's posts their recipes on line! WooHoo! Jackpot! This cake is the closest thing I've found to our wedding cake (which was so good, I could eat it every day).
Unfortunately, this cake takes some time to make. Now, I imagine you could skimp and use box cake mix, but I have no doubt it would affect the overall fabulousness. To give you a brief description, this is a homemade vanilla cake with a red currant jelly glaze between the layers and then iced (also between the layers) with homemade whipped cream mixed with melted quality white chocolate. As if that weren't enough, you then cover the ENTIRE cake with white chocolate shavings. YUMMO! Since this cake is iced with whipped cream, you do have to keep the cake in the fridge. This is a VERY tall, three layer cake, so it takes up an entire shelf in our fridge (A BIG thanks to Dan the Man for cleaning out our fridge to make room). The pics were taken from my camera phone right as we were digging in, so the quality is not super, but please believe me when I say this cake is awesome. Click here for the recipe!
See the hint of red from the red currant jelly between the layers? It's a nice contrast to the ultra sweetness of the white chocolate.
