This week’s cake called for a rosebud pan; I used the alternative – a cup cake pan. The little chocolate cakes are light and very tender. Something I would like to make with a fluffy white frosting. I had some trouble with the dark chocolate ganache puddles which are dabbed onto of the cake batter before baking. The ganache is supposed to run through the cake, but mine sank to the bottom and clung to the bottom of the pan.
The texture of my ganache was probably off, but I don’t feel compelled to try it again. White frosting next time for these delicious little cakes.
Unlike my other blog posts, as part of the Heavenly Cake Bakers, I don’t post recipes from this book on the Internet. One of the reasons for this baking group is to encourage readers to purchase the cookbook. That strategy worked on me! After follow the group’s baking adventures for a couple of months, I ordered a copy from Amazon because I wanted to join in.

Sinking ganache is a pretty common problem with cupcakes. I’m not familiar with your recipe, but did you chill the ganache before using? I know that sometimes if the ganache is too hard/ cold it will sink. Either way, they still look super yummy! 🙂

Aww, sucks that the ganache sank. I love that you drizzle them on top though.

Chocolate is so good, it doesnt matter what form it comes in — whether its perfectly distributed or sunk to the bottom like in this recipe, it’ll still make my tastebuds happy!
