For the Ganache, you have to pretty patient with it. Keep it on a low heat (so it doesn't burn and become lumpy) but keep gently stirring it so that the chocolate fully melts. It still sounds like a yummy cake though, chocolate chunks and all!Christianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04170083116981171065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9069528798612765187.post-90704574568026568462009-04-03T11:24:00.000-04:002009-04-03T11:24:00.000-04:00YUMThis sounds SO GOOD.
