Notes about this recipe

    Overall, a nice dessert with a great flavor combination. The whipped ganache did not work as expected, although I really enjoyed the ras el hanout spice combined with the bittersweet chocolate. When I first whipped it, it seemed just right, but started to harden (at room temp) really quickly - definitely did not last an hour. Maybe because I used 73% bittersweet chocolate instead of 70%? The best I could do was place crumbly lumps on plates. So the dessert definitely looked rustic, as the cake also did not slice that neatly (not that I tried very hard), I made 1/2 recipes of everything and got 6 portions of cake, 6 small portions of ice cream (we wouldn't have minded more), but extra ganache as the flavor was quite strong. Next time I would simply pour liquid ganache over the cake to glaze it, and serve that with ice cream on the side.
