Made it gluten free with a flour mix of 1.5 cup Yuca and 1 cup rice flour. Also doubled the sugar and used oil instead of butter. In between the layers I did shortening, sugar and peppermint extract and decorated with fresh flowers. Perfect dessert that was gluten and dairy free for Valentine’s Day. Thanks so much for the inspiration!!!
Sounds like Bel created a whole new and different cake. The filling inside the layers bore no resemblance to the original recipe.
Question: the dark chocolate in the end are you using compound chocolate or just dark chocolate? also what percentage dark is it?
like we get it in 50% and 75%?
This is a ganache so any recipe you have will work for it but usually:
Ingredients
8 ounces semisweet or bittersweet chocolate (we like 61 percent cacao)
1 cup heavy cream
â…› teaspoon coarse salt
