Orange Cake with Whipped White Chocolate Ganache

Orange and white chocolate is a combination I’ve never tried before and I’m not sure how it even came to mind but there are no regrets! The cake is soft and citrusy, with plenty of orange zest and the ganache is made with orange zest-infused cream so that the sweetness of the white chocolate doesn’t over power everything. I then decided to whip it because that makes it a lighter, airier frosting. Whipped ganache is so so good. This cake got rave reviews and I hope you’ll try it soon!
