ROSE’S heavenly CAKES: Deep Chocolate Rosebuds (page 355), by debbie:
i love the cake stand!
i only made half recipe of ROSE’S heavenly CAKES: Deep Chocolate Rosebuds (page 355). the other half is my mocha espresso cake, a recipe i am writing with hawaiian chocolate, hawaiian coffee, in cake.
the coffee comes from these facilities at coffeesofhawaii.com, my life enlightened. little does one know that coffee can be such high tech and sensitive operation. i am in love:
ROSE’S heavenly CAKES: Deep Chocolate Rosebuds (page 355), i don’t know what i did wrong.
did i brush the baking spray too much? did my ganache contain too much chocolate? did i forget to lighten the ganache by whipping it?
the cake stuck in the pan. the ganache accumulated on the bottom:
did i push the ganache too deep?
things looked ok while baking:
note: the light brown cakes is a different recipe i am testing.
for ROSE’S heavenly CAKES: Deep Chocolate Rosebuds (page 355), i made a huge batch of ganache since it is my favorite chocolate frosting on just about all cakes.
i make ganache like this:
1- melt chocolate (chopped or not) in the oven at 110 oF, overnight, undisturbed, uncovered.
2- scald cream, then let it cool till 110 0F
3- verify chocolate temperature 110 oF.
