Adding Ganache to "Death By Chocolate" Cake

Video Transcript

Hi I'm Karen for Expert Village, while our cake is cooling we're going to prepare ganache glaze to fill the cake and top the cake. Ganache is a very simple recipe having only 2 ingredients. But it's wonderful rich elegant way to cover or fill a cake. The ingredients are 8 oz of a nice chocolate, this is bitter sweet chocolate and we'll put that in there, 1/2 cup of heavy cream. Just melt this together on a low heat and stir it occasionally and put that on a nice slow heat and just use a heavy pot. You can also prepare this in a double boiler if your afraid that you might burn the chocolate but a heavy pot and very low heat and stirring it up will make a nice ganache. I'm cooking the ganache over here for a few minutes and I just want to show you what it looks like. There we go, the chocolate is melting and the you just keep stirring that and you mix the cream right into the chocolate as it's melting. Let me show you our ganache, has a little glossy color know if we chill this it will get thick and spreadable so you can frost a cake. But if we leave it warm or heated like this you can pour it over a cake and it has a beautiful glossy shiny look to it.
