Directions
Paula Deen’s Chocolate Ganache Cake, This is from Paula Deen’s magazine called Holiday Baking from 2007 It is amazing!I love the store bought cakes that have the buttercream icing and this is just like it, plus an added bonus of ganache over the top This will be my new birthday cake to make every year! I didn’t use buttermilk used milk with lemon juice For the 1/3 cup buttermilk called for I added 1 tsp of lemon juice to the milk Prep time does not include freezer time, I made the cake but pooped out when it came to the icing Its easier and cheaper to just buy buttercreme icing and make the chocolate I’m not sure that the portions for the cake were correct 1/2 cup and 1/2 lb are different used the 1/2 cup but felt 1/2 lb of butter and shortening should probably have been correct I will try it again Its a little dry for me using the listed portions, but its not the worse cake I’ve ever made Will post pics as soon as I find the transfer cord from my camera
