HOW TO MAKE CHOCOLATE GANACHE AND FROST A CAKE WITH GANACHE
Every time when I passed a cake shop, I couldn't help myself looking at those beautiful cakes especially chocolate cake. I always tell myself that one of these days I will try to bake a perfect chocolate cake with a smooth ganache. I kept that dream. Though I have baked a few chocolate cakes but I still couldn't get the smooth finishing. Last night while I was browsing the net to look for some fondant techniques I found this article on chocolate ganache from - http://www.killerchocolate.com/articles/chocolate_ganache.php and a video showing the techniques of chocolate ganache. Wow..never that I realize that it was so helpful and I am really excited to try it in this coming Eid Mubarak...my target is is to get something close to Secret recipe Chocolate Cake....and I am going to try the techniques that I learned from this video.
Here's the excerption from killerchocolate.com
There are two ways of making the chocolate ganache. One involves melting the chocolate and then blending cream into it. The second technique involves heating the cream to a boil, removing it from the heat source and then blending in the chocolate. With this method, you need to make sure your chocolate has been grated or finely chopped so that the heat from the cream is ample to melt all of the chocolate.
If more chocolate than cream is used, the ganache will be quite thick and fudgy. This thick type of ganache is used to make truffles, which are then usually rolled in cocoa powder or powdered sugar. If more cream than chocolate is used, the ganache will be on the thinner side. This type of thin ganache is often used to glaze cakes or tortes. Experiment to find the perfect consistency for each of your desserts.
If a very shiny texture is desired on the ganache, sometimes a small amount of butter or vegetable oil is added to the mixture.
The best chocolate makes the best ganache, I believe that is rules No:1...Getting the best chocolate. Here's the video that I mentioned earlier, you can get more from youtube. As for me I got what I want...and just excited to experiment it. I hope this helps especially for novice baker like me.
Rasanya kalau sebab aje chocolate kek atau pun kalau ada aje kawan-kawan yang sudah test resipi chocolate yang baru..pasti saya akan menyusuli selepas itu, saya memang tidak mahu ketinggalan kerana anak-anak di rumah memang suka sangat dengan chocolate kek. Chocolate kek kalau sudah pasti kena dihiaskan baru menarik, tapi sayang bab-bab menhias chocolate kek ni saya selalu gagal...selalu tidak dapat menepati apa yang saya hajati, dan selalunya bila tenguk hiasan chocolate kek yang cantik dan lincin di kedai-kedai kek saya jadi tension.
