Ganache recipe for perfectly ganaching a cake!

Super easy ganache recipe that's perfect for ganaching a cake! Simply use a 2:1 ratio of 50% dark chocolate to heavy cream and you're good to go!
Ganache quantity for covering an 8 inch 2 layer cake (increase the quantity for larger cakes):
Dark chocolate ganache (2:1 ratio):
- 1kg dark chocolate
- 500ml heavy cream
In the video I used this amount to cover a 6 inch 4 layer cake, and had extra ganache left over.

This chocolate cake recipe is a family favorite now! I love how you explained each step thoroughly, making it easy for even beginners to achieve a professional-looking and tasting cake. The moistness and depth of chocolate flavor are simply divine.

[@asugarholicslife]

[@CakesbyMK]

Hahaha I know right!! I usually have a bottle of ganache lying around in my fridge and tend to just randomly put it on top of anything sweet! xD

[@asugarholicslife]

@@CakesbyMK this is the best reply ever! I'm glad we have that in common! Lol

[@faithfulgrl]

I want to see how you frosted the cake. It's done so perfectly

[@suescookery4881]

hi, is the amount just for covering the cake or for filling as well? Thanks

[@zainabehtisham8438]

Hi, if I was using milk chocolate would I still use this ratio... As for white Choc ganache u use 3 parts Choc and 1part Whipping cream..

[@greedygamblerslots]

So I don’t need to refrigerate it at all? I assumed so because of the cream? Does it last sitting out on the cake??

[@thegracedlifenetwork8812]

Really nice, thanks for sharing. Please can this be achieved with cocoa powder instead of actual chocolate bars/chips?

[@filthyfairy.g59]

i just watched a video where she did half cocoa powder & half shaved chocolate bar! i’m not sure if it’ll be the same consistency with full powder?

[@Angeleyesly]

I love her accent where is she from ? 😭❤

[@TonyV89]

I'm guessing New Zealand.

[@Angeleyesly]

@@TonyV89 you guessed right! she just mentioned it in a new vid

[@markanthonyventuragargar393]

[@Mariechy]

What’s the recipe?

[@geraldinevisagie3881]

where can I find the recipe to make the garnash

[@mikefeddersen2476]

Another cook used 1/2 cup sugar, 3 tablespoons all purpose flour, 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder and a cup of milk. Here's what I did though: From a previous recipe I mixed sugar, cocoa and flour in pan while over medium high heat. Then after most of the lumps are gone and it's mixed well, I added a cup of chocolate milk. My wife likes it! That's a win because she can be picky. 😊

[@sladanikic6264]

I refuse to keep microwave in my kitchen

[@mariahsaywell9367]

You can heat the heavy cream on the stove, I also don't own a microwave

[@garithmanyuke3451]

Dark choc and what

[@dietspicesandsweets6808]

Cream

[@TonyV89]

I think she said heavy cream

[@TesticleesMaximus4361]

Diet chocolate? What is this that you speak of?

[@CakesbyMK]

Lol! Dark chocolate :D

[@vasevatuikoro4277]

Dark chocolate & which cream?? You're too fast

[@strawberry_cow2957]
