Caramel mud cake

This cake is amazing. It's rich but not sickly sweet, and it's not too dense either. But if you're trying to be healthy, I would stay away from it.

Cake ingredients:
180g white eating chocolate
185g butter
1 cup brown sugar
1/3 cup golden syrup
1 cup milk
1 1/2 cups plain flour
1/2 self raising flour
2 eggs
White chocolate ganache ingredients:
1/2 cup cream
260g white eating chocolate

Method: 
Preheat oven to 160C/140C fan-forced. Grease 22cm round cake tin, line with baking paper
Stir first five ingredients in a large saucepan over low heat until smooth. Cool 15 minutes. 
Whisk remaining three ingredients into the saucepan mixture and then pour into the prepared tin. 
Bake cake about 1 1/2 hours. Cool cake in pan. 
Meanwhile, make the ganache by bringing the cream to the boil in a small saucepan and then removing from the heat. stir in the white chocolate and stir until smooth. refridgerate, stirring occasionally for about half an hour until smooth. 
When cake is cold, spread on the ganache.
