Ingredients
Chocolate ganache
250ml Fresh Cream/ double cream/ whipping cream (I used double cream)
250g Dark Cooking Chocolate
30g Butter
Method
- Place the chopped chocolate in a bowl.
- Heat the cream until it just begins to boil. Remove from heat and pour over the chocolate. Let stand one minute, then stir .. Add in butter and continue to stir until smooth. Clingwrap ur bowl and let it sit in a chiller for at least 3hrs.
- Once u are ready to spread ganache on ur cake.. whisk chilled ganache for a few minutes and its ready to be used.

Ingredients
Caramel syrup
50gr Sugar
25ml of water (1)
50 ml water (2)

Method
Heat sugar with water (1) over fire (cook until it turns caramelized)
Add water (2) into the caramel mixture, cook and stir until caramel melts and blended. Turn off heat, cool
(I heated up the sugar.. waited till it created bubbles and slightly burnt bef adding water 1 & 2)

To assemble the cake:
Remove the cake layers from the pan and cut cake into 2 layers in horizontally, using a serrated bread knife.
Set the first cake layer on a cake plate. Spread simple sugar syrup over it which u can easily do by cooking 1/2 cup of sugar with 1/2 cup of water. Then spread caramel syrup and ganache (1cm thick) over the cake layer, making sure it reaches to the edges. Set another cake layer on top.

 

saya cuma buat sikit je choc ganache ni sebab yang luar tu saya taruk buttercream.
