For the ganache

Instructions

Notes
- Recipe from The Weeknight Dessert Cookbook. Permission to use granted.
- If you don’t have plain greek yogurt you can substitute with sour cream. Either ingredients adds a whole level of moisture to this cake!
- I buy my Espresso powder on Amazon. If you can’t find it, use instant coffee. It doesn’t make your cake taste like coffee, but instead brings out the rich chocolate flavor.
- Add some extra chocolate chips on top of the chocolate ganache. There’s no such things as “too much” in my vocabulary.
- Dark Chocolate Chips are my favorite for today’s pound cake. You’ll love that deep, rich chocolate flavor!
