A
Chocolate Icing Recipe
A
chocolate ganache recipe will give a luxurious finish to any cake or
chocolate dessert.
This
will make enough to cover a 23cm (9 inch) round cake or 20cm (8 inch)
square cake.
1 cup of whipping cream (heavy cream)
230g (8 oz) dark chocolate broken into small pieces
Place the cream and the chocolate in a heat proof bowl and place on top
of a saucepan of simmering water.
Stir the mixture constantly until the chocolate has melted.
Using
the Chocolate Ganache
The ganache can be
used when still runny. Simply pour it over
the cake (which you have placed on a cooling rack with a tray
underneath). The cake will soak up some of the icing and add
extra flavor. This will give a thin coating.
Use a thicker icing to cover cracks in the cake.
Let the ganache cool in the fridge mixing every few minutes
until it reaches a spreadable consistency. Spread over the sides and
top of the cake with a palette knife.
