The Chocolate topping on grated Chocolate and Almond Cake
Asked on 4 Mar 2024 by DuchessDebs
Hi Lindsey
I’ve made the chocolate ganache for the grated chocolate almond cake and can say that I didn’t have any issues melting the chocolate.
I didn’t melt fully and let the residue heat melt the odd bits of chocolate left. Then I add creme fraiche which had been out of the fridge a while. The ganache is very firm. Will it soften when spread onto the cake?
Hope you can help to rectify.
Thank you.

Hello Deborah,
It will not soften on the cake!
I think it may be that it needed more crème fraiche.
Delia uses an old-fashioned kitchen tablespoon which is about 20mls so for a rounded spool you’ll need about 40ml or about 3 level 15ml measuring tablespoons.
Kind regards
Lindsey
