SIMPLE GANACHE
Nothing could be easier than this well-behaved, simple version of ganache. It takes no time at all, coats a cake beautifully and provides a wonderful base for decorating- try praline, fresh berries, roasted nuts, toffee shards or even edible gold or silver leaf as appears on our Chocolate, Hazelnut and Sour Cherry Cake.
For the richest result, use the best quality couverture chocolate available. You won’t be disappointed.
