Baking Tips For Chocolate Ganache Cake Drip
Achieve the ideal ganache consistency by using a 1:1 ratio of chocolate to heavy cream. This ensures a smooth, glossy finish.
Opt for high-quality chocolate and cream for a richer flavor. Dark chocolate with at least 60% cocoa works well.
Heat the cream just before boiling and pour it over finely chopped chocolate. Let it sit for a minute before stirring to create a velvety ganache.
Ensure your cake is fully cooled before applying ganache. A slightly warm cake can cause the ganache to become too runny.
Add a splash of flavor by incorporating extracts, liqueurs, or flavored oils into the ganache for a unique twist.
