Chocolate Ganache Glaze

teas.co.uk · 10 min · Tops 1 loaf cake or 8 fairy cakes

You'll need

• 4 heaped teaspoons of Islands Milk Hot Chocolate Flakes (about 25g)
• 60ml double cream
• 1 freshly baked 900g loaf cake on a cooling rack (vanilla sponge or chocolate fudge)
• 1 small heavy based saucepan
• 1 small balloon whisk
• 1 small pouring jug

Method

1. Rest the cooled cake on a rack with a tray beneath it for the drips.
2. Warm the cream gently in a small saucepan until it just steams; do not let it boil.
3. Off the heat, tip in the chocolate flakes and whisk for a couple of minutes until fully melted and glossy.
4. Tip into a jug and pour over the cake, working outward from the middle so it spills over the edges.
5. Give it an hour to set into a firm, glossy shell.
6. Tip: if it thickens too much to pour, warm in a splash more cream to loosen it.
