Ingredients

Butter, for greasing

1 3/4 oz good white chocolate

2 eggs

1/4 cup superfine sugar (dissolves faster than regular sugar)

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

Truffle Topping:

1 1/4 cups heavy cream

12 oz good white chocolate, broken into pieces

generous 1 cup mascarpone cheese

To Decorate:

block of good milk chocolate, grated with a vegetable peeler to make a nice pile of curls (hint: have it at room temperature for easy curling)

unsweetened cocoa, for dusting

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees

Grease sides and line the bottom with parchment paper of an 8-inch round springform cake pan

Melt the white chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of barely simmering water, stirring constantly

Using a hand-held electric whisk, beat the eggs and sugar together in a large bowl until thick and pale-the mixture should leave a "trail" when the whisk is lifted (or use a hand whisk but you need MUSCLE for that!)

Sift the flour and gently fold into the eggs with a metal spoon or palette knife.

Add the melted chocolate.

Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake in oven for 25 minutes, or until springy to the touch

Let cool slightly in the pan, then transfer to a cooling rack and let cool completely

Return the cooled cake to the pan (for pouring topping over)

To make the topping, put the cream in a pan and bring to a boil, stirring constantly

Let cool slightly, then add the white chocolate and stir until melted and combined

Remove from the heat and set aside until almost cool, stirring, then mix in the mascarpone cheese until smooth

Pour on top of the cake, letting it drip down the sides into the pan

Let chill in the refrigerator for 2 hours

Remove springform sides and slide cake onto serving plate

To Decorate:

Pick up the milk chocolate curls carefully and arrange on the top of the dessert

Dust lightly with unsweetened cocoa using a small wire sifter
