Cake and Ganache

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chocolate Brownie

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Melt the dark chocolate and butter together in a double boiler. Once melted, remove from heat and add sugar, mixing well. Add eggs one at a time, stirring well after each addition. Sift in flour, cocoa powder, and baking powder, mixing until just combined. Pour into a greased cake pan and bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.

  2. 2

    Make the Cocoa Genoise

    In a separate bowl, beat eggs and sugar until pale and thick. Gently fold in sifted flour and cocoa powder until fully incorporated. Pour into a greased cake pan and bake at 350°F (175°C) for about 20 minutes. Allow to cool completely.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Ganache

    Heat the heavy cream until just simmering. Pour it over the chopped milk chocolate and let sit for a few minutes. Stir until smooth and shiny. Allow to cool slightly.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Cake

    Slice both chocolate cakes in half horizontally. Place one layer of brownie on a serving plate, spread some caramel sauce on top, then drizzle with ganache. Add a layer of genoise and repeat the process until all layers are stacked.

  5. 5

    Coat and Decorate

    Melt additional chocolate and dip the sides of the cake in it, then roll the edges in chopped pecans. Top with chocolate mousseline cream or whipped cream, and garnish with pecans and drizzles of caramel.
