Directions
Almond Chocolate Cake with Ganache, This is a very rich cake, I like it best served a little warm This is from the cookbook Chocolate Cake by Michele Urvater , This cake was awesome! Added the juice of half an orange and some orange zest, which gave it a subtle but delicious orange flavour also added 1 1/2 tea spoons of vanilla extract, but not sure it made much difference Cooked it at a lower temp for about 45mins Was baked in an 8 inch round tin and came out beautifully Ganache was great and really made the cake
