1 package vanilla cake mix
1/3 cup Stella's Table Fig Jam

100 grams white chocolate chips
50 grams heavy whipping cream
Ingredients for Lemon Honey Ganache:

Pinch of Himalayan Sea Salt (optional)
Instructions for Muffins:

We like fig jam at the bottom of our muffins so we add a dollop of fig jam to the top of the muffin while raw. This will drop to the bottom while baking.
Bake per directions on the cake mix.
Once out of the oven, let cool for 10 minutes.
Using a small spoon, scoop a small hole in the center of the baked muffin and add a dollop of fig jam.
Drizzle the muffins with White Chocolate Ganache using a spoon in whatever pattern you like. We used a simple back and forth method.
Instructions for White Chocolate Ganache
Add white chocolate chips and whipping cream to a microwave safe bowl. Microwave on high for 10-15 seconds. Take our and stir. If it needs more time to melt completely, only do it for another 10 seconds. White chocolate can burn easily. If there are only a couple of chips still unmelted, try to stir them for a minute to melt them all the way.
