How to make amazing Chocolate Ganache - tutorial

Hi and welcome back to my kitchen! One of my favourite things to add to a cake is chocolate ganache. I love the way it transforms the taste of a cake. It has such a smooth and luxurious texture and it is just perfect for covering cakes if you want those sharp edges to cover in icing / fondant. Whether you are looking to make milk, dark or white chocolate ganache in this tutorial video I show you the way I make my ganache.

I have also uploaded an extra video which shows you how I make the chocolate cake that is featured in this video. So if you are looking for a rich dark chocolate cake recipe check it out!:

milk and dark chocolate
(ratio: 2:1)
eg. 100ml milk = 200ml chocolate

White chocolate
(ratio: 3:1)
eg. 100 ml cream = 300g chocolate

-Chop chocolate bar or use chips and set aside
-put double cream in sauce pan and heat up till it boils
- Add it in the chocolate and keep stirring until all the chocolate is melted
- If there are bits of chocolate that has not melt, add it in the microwave in burst of 10 secs until fully melted

Love your videos and cakes, I am a hobby baker so it’s so lovely to have such easy instructions.
This is just for a personal opinion if I may…which tastes better for a chocolate cake filling? Ganache or buttercream? Xx

theres NOTHING i love more than a whipped ganache, perfect in macarons!

[michellehall]

Thank you for this video you explained exactly what I needed to know. So many ganache videos don’t explain the ratio of chocolate & cream. Just showing how to make it. I’m making it tomorrow for my daughters 2nd bday cake so fingers crossed it goes right first time. Xx
