Oh I’m so sorry this has taken me a couple weeks to post…
For the chocolate cake, I just used my favorite chocolate cake recipe (it can be anything).
The chocolate on top is chocolate ganache, which is super easy to make.
Ingredients:
9 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped (I used organic semi-sweet choc chips)
1 cup heavy cream
Directions:
Place the chocolate into a medium bowl. Heat the cream in a small sauce pan over medium heat. Bring just to a boil, watching very carefully because if it boils for a few seconds, it will boil out of the pot. When the cream has come to a boil, pour over the chopped chocolate, and whisk until smooth.
Allow the ganache to cool slightly before pouring over a cake. Start at the center of the cake and work outward. For a fluffy frosting or chocolate filling, allow it to cool until thick, then whip with a whisk until light and fluffy.
The more you let it cool, the thicker it gets. You can even stick it in the freezer for a bit and then use it for icing.
I poured it over the cake and let it drip down the sides for a nice effect and then put organic fresh berries (strawberries, raspberries, blueberries) on top to finish it off.
Enjoy!!
