chocolate ganache cake

In honor of “Cake Week” I am starting off with a truly decadent chocolate ganache cake. This is a thick, rich, chocolate cake that is both dense and the stuff dreams are made of. It uses a bitter, dark chocolate, so don’t expect the cloyingly sweet chocolate you might think. Because it is not overly sweet on its own, it is amazing with strawberries, blueberries, or raspberries. I also tried it with a caramel cream topping that was amazing!

Start by melting your chocolate and butter. Believe it or not, I do not own a double broiler, so I made my own. Then I went on Amazon and ordered this double broiler.

Remove from pan (this part is tricky, on my first attempt the whole thing just fell apart. If this happens, just enjoy it anyway!) and let cool completely. Then top with your favorite toppings such as berries, and enjoy.

I personally found it to be richer and more delicious on day two, after being refrigerated overnight.
