  I was a bit dubious about this recipe, but I had all the ingredients to hand so gave it a go. It was actually really nice. Very moist, very dense (almost a steamed pudding), and just the right level of sweetness - I think the yogurt adds a slight sourness which counters the white chocolate really well. The icing is delicious! Best of all, I made it four days ago and it's still really fresh.

  I made this cake and it was tasty, although very dense (I felt I had to explain to people that it was supposed to be dense because it looked a bit like a sponge cake that had failed to rise). Also, with a whole pack of butter in it, I can't help thinking of it as 'white chocolate pack-on-the-pounds cake'! I probably won't make the cake again but have already used the icing on different cakes a couple of times (including an experiment with low fat yog/cheese and milk choc which seemed to work). I had hoped my fussy two year old would like the icing because it seemed like a sneaky way to get good quality dairy produce into him but sadly he did not... Will keep trying though!

  Icing is delicious but the cake was too dense for my liking. Wouldnt make it again but would use the topping as others have suggested.

  Ok. Too gummy and cloying. Pound cake is rich, not dense. I think putting in juicy fruit such as peaches, is the problem. The flavour of white chocolate is lost in the cake. Wouldn't make again without major changes.

  This looks nice. I would suggest using less chocolate and yogurt in the cake to make it lighter.

  Was looking forward to making this cake for a coffee morning I have. I found that it was too dense which I think is due to the yoghurt, it looked like it was not cooked properly. Won't make this again.
