The parchment paper adheres to the side of the pan, and the cake pulls away from the side of the paper during baking. It would be nice to have a clean layer of ganache, but I haven't been able to find a successful way to make that happen, and could use suggestions.<br />Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15146840291887267282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-430441346293872555.post-84453021842004419042018-03-26T16:10:11.652+01:002018-03-26T16:10:11.652+01:00I tried this at the weekend as a birthday cake.

Have checked out recipes for chocolate ganache and the general rule seems to be 100g of chocolate for each 100ml of cream. Apart from that the recipe works well.Adrianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14361279849747886286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-430441346293872555.post-27884318887983124452018-03-26T16:05:16.023+01:002018-03-26T16:05:16.023+01:00Tried this at the weekend, unfortunately I find th...Tried this at the weekend, unfortunately I find the chocolate topping is a little hard.

This year Waitrose and Tesco are charging £7 for one smaller than a dinner plate. I will be making mine in my parents huge baking tin, that Dad made his famous choc chip cake in. <br />I suspect this will start a new tradition for us. It will certainly bring back happy memories of my childhood.

Good idea using half and half milk/dark for the ganache (though I am a glutton for the super dark stuff and would probably just use it to put off other eaters).
