Chocolate Cream Ganache Cake

As bakers, sometimes we're so engrossed in how to perfect the baking skill and decorating skill that we forget the purpose of taking up this hobby i.e. the pleasure of the baking process itself and having a taste of the final products. I don't really have much time sitting down and enjoying the results. I wanted to give myself a pat on the shoulder by making a cake for myself. This is to remind me of my passion and I don't wanna lose this and make this a routine.

My loved ones always give me 101% support in the process. Whether to bring the kids out so that I have quiet time to finish up the cakes, or lending me a helping hand in decorating hundreds of cup cakes... My gratitude is beyond word. So I wanted them to get to enjoy not only the process but results. I didn't make anything fancy but one that tasted great. So I used Valrhola chocolate. Even my hubby who doesn't really like cakes is full of praise - he has been very honest in giving feedback on my cooking/baking.

It is just a chocolate sponge cake layered with chocolate cream, coco cranch and finished up with chocolate ganache. I also used some balance icing to practise my piping skill to give this cake some essence. Simple yet delicious ;> That's all I need after rushing to complete some cake orders.
