Directions:
Cake:
- Grease with butter and dust with flour the bottom of a 9in (23cm) removable bottom cake pan. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, place the eggs and sugar. Whisk for about 1 minute.
- Add the vanilla and vegetable oil. Whisk.
- Add the flour and baking powder. Stir until just combined. Do not overmix the flour.
- Stir in the blueberries. Pour batter into prepared pan.
- Bake at 350°F (180°C) for 12-15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Set aside until completely cooled.
Filling:
- In a saucepan, combine the blueberries, sugar and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat for about 7-10 minutes or until the liquid is reduced. Using a blender or food processor, pulse the blueberries until it forms a puree. Let it cool completely at room temperature.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat the heavy whipping cream on medium-high speed until soft peaks form, being careful not to overbeat or the cream will turn buttery. Set aside.
- In a small microwave-safe bowl, place the water and sprinkle powdered gelatin. Stir until completely dissolved. Let it stand for 2-3 minutes to bloom. The gelatin will absorb the water. Microwave it for 15 seconds to melt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine the condensed milk, blueberry puree, and melted gelatin. Stir until combined.
- Add the whipped cream in two additions, folding gently until well combined.
- Pour the mixture into the cake pan over the prepared cake. Refrigerate for 1 hour to firm up a bit.
Lemon White Chocolate Ganache:
- Melt the chocolate using a double-boiler or microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring between each, until melted.
- Add the lemon juice and whisk until smooth.
- Separate about 3 tablespoons of the mixture and color the chocolate with purple oil-based food coloring.
- Pour the white chocolate ganache over the blueberry filling and drizzle the purple mixture on top. Using a skewer, create swirls.
- Refrigerate for 6 hours or overnight until completely set.
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
