When i was cleaning my baking cupboard, i found 3 big packet of white chocolate lying around. And i wanted to use it immediately because they are nearing their expiry dates..So decided to add it to a mocha cake which i was planning to do. And it turned out great..White chocolate and coffee went well together..My next attempt is to make a white forest cake..
