1:1 delicious and delicious

I made Cooking Light's Ultimate Chocolate Cake recipe for my friend Megan's 30th recently (recommended by Mom).

As frosting, I used a very simple ratio for ganache also found in the Ratio, a book I mentioned in an earlier post. This is the ratio for ganache: 1:1 baking chocolate/cream. Now, good baking chocolate can be expensive but if you want to cut costs, chocolate chips are fine (or a mix of baking chocolate and chips). Heat up the cream and add the coarsely chopped chocolate to the pan. Remove pan from heat as soon as the chocolate has melted.

Result: Amazing cake. Great recipe. Highly recommended. You can't really go wrong with ganache. It would probably make rotten vegetables taste delicious.
