This white chocolate ganache glaze is basically a ganache that is pourable in order to give cakes a nice coating and sheen. Consider glazing your favourite cake with this delectable white chocolate glaze or using my White Chocolate Macadamia Cake as a base instead.

Instructions
For the ganache glaze, chop white chocolate into small pieces and place in a medium bowl. Set aside. Bring heavy cream to a simmer, remove from heat and pour over white chocolate pieces. Cover with a plate and let the mixture sit for 5 minutes, then carefully stir until a smooth ganache forms.*
Let ganache cool until it is no longer warm to the touch (84°F/28°C) but still is pourable and hasn’t hardened.
For covering a cake in ganache glaze, place a wire rack on a baking sheet. Put the buttercream frosted, chilled cake on the rack. This way excess ganache will drip onto the baking sheet and can be reused. Pour the white chocolate ganache glaze onto the chilled cake and let it also run down to cover the sides. Use an angled spatula to smooth out the top
Let the cake sit for just a minute and scrape excess drip from the bottom edge, then move the cake (and rack) to the fridge to let it firm up. Store the cake in the fridge until ½ to 1 hour before serving. The ganache will be easier to cut with a hot knife.
Notes
*if the white chocolate doesn't melt fully, you can place the ganache over a double-boiler and heat gently while stirring until the chocolate is fully melted and ganache is smooth
