Heating:
- Bake at: 170oC | Bake for: 30-35 minutes.
- Cooling: Refrigerate for 2-3 hours.
Dressing:
- Pour: Warm the dark chocolate ganache and pour the over cool cake.
- Garnish: Use salted peanuts. You can also customise this as per your customer’s preference.
- Chill: Once again, chill the cake for 1-2 hours till the ganache sets in.
Tips
- Chilling: Always chill the cake before pouring ganache into it. This will help the ganache to stay over the cake and not seep in.
- 2 stages of pouring: Ensure the ganache is poured in two stages. This will help in evenly coating of ganache over the cake.
- Pro tip for customers: Tell your customers to warm the cake for 30 seconds before having it. Trust us, they will keep coming back!
