Ingredients

  • 1 cup raw macadamia nuts unsalted
  • 1.5 cups all-purpose flour sifted
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 0.5 cup unsalted butter softened at room temperature
  • 0.75 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs room temperature
  • 0.5 cup whole milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips divided for batter and topping
  • 0.25 cup heavy cream for the ganache drizzle

Notes

Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to 5 days. For a deeper flavor, you can brown the butter before creaming it with sugar. To make ahead, bake the cake a day early and apply the ganache just before serving.
