Ingredients
- 1 chocolate cake prepared in 9-inch round pans
- 2 packages milk chocolate morsels 11.5 ounce each
- 1 ¼ cup heavy whipping cream
- Chocolate Candy for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare chocolate cake in two 9-inch round pans. You can use a boxed mix or this dark chocolate cake recipe. Allow cakes to cool completely.
- For the ganache, heat a double boiler or medium saucepan with an inch of water. Place double boiler on top of saucepan (or use a glass bowl). Add chocolate and heavy cream to bowl. Stirring constantly while melting, stir until smooth.
- Remove from heat and place in refrigerator for about one hour, or longer.
- Remove from refrigerator and using a stand mixer with whisk attachment, beat melted chocolate ganache on high until light and fluffy. Immediately spread frosting on cake. ENJOY.
Notes
- Stove top method: If you are making this on the stove top, always use the double boiler method. Chocolate can scorch if directly heated and it won't be pretty (or delicious).
- How to use a double boiler. Heat your small saucepan with about an inch or two of water. The steam will heat the double boiler placed on top. Put the chocolate and cream in the top bowl and stir until smooth.
- DO NOT remove the double boiler from pot until the ganache is smooth and creamy. You don't want to get any moisture in with your chocolate or it may seize.
- Microwave method: Start with a clean, dry glass bowl. Add your chocolate and cream and heat for one minute. Stir your ganache and heat in 15 second increments until the chocolate is smooth and creamy.
- Brownies: Spread ganache frosting over our favorite brownie recipe.
