Chocolate ganache cake from Sally's Baking 101: Foolproof Recipes from Easy to Advanced (page 81) by Sally McKenney

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

Notes about this recipe

  • Eat Your Books

    Chocolate mousse filling refrigerates 2 hours to 2 days. Can substitute peanut butter frosting for chocolate mousse filling.

    Made this for my chocoholic daughter’s birthday, and thought it was great. Definitely got every bowl in the kitchen dirty, but the result was worthy of a special occasion. Might choose to skip the chocolate chips next time. Since the cake must be chilled for the mousse, the chocolate chips are present as solid chunks of chocolate throughout. I didn’t feel like the hard chunks added much to an otherwise very tender cake.

    Loved this cake. Take your time and make it over 2 days. Worth the effort for sure.
