One of the perks of my job is that I can fill in the blanks and add recipes where they’re needed. I also usually take the liberty of not giving myself recipes that will be time-consuming to create. Sometimes this backfires because what I think will be easy ends up taking forever, and then there’s no turning back! This recipe took much trial and error to perfect, but we got it. You’re going to love it!

This made for a really tasty, rich chocolate cake! I didn't have baking chocolate, so I used chocolate chips and cut down the sugar to make up for the fact that my chocolate was already sweetened. I will say that in following the recipe, the ganache seemed a bit thinner than what I would anticipate for ganache, and there was WAY too much of it for just this one cake. I saved the leftover amount and added a couple other ingredients to make some "nice" cream in the freezer for later. When I made the ganache, I added a dash of cinnamon and allspice. The texture of the cake was somewhere between that of a flourless chocolate cake and a regular cake, which I found compelling, and I also finished the top with some orange salt (a flake sea salt mixed with dried orange peel). All the flavors created a really interesting flavor profile that I adore. Would absolutely make this again!Replies: -
