Heavenly Cake - Chocolate Cake with Caramel Ganache

ב''ה


The ganache really stole the show with this cake.


Mis en place:


Dry ingredients and cocoa.


Before the eggs.


Ready to go in.


I'm really not sure what I did wrong here but the cakes crumb turned out very dense. I even measured the ingredients and everything. Maybe I did not bake it long enough.



Heat the sugar for the caramel.



Pour the cream etc.


What a fantastic ganache! I bet this would go well with a lot of other cakes. Really classic.
