Chocolate Genoise with Peanut Butter Whipped Ganache





This cake was without problems for me. The genoise was baked at 355' instead of 350', for 35 minutes [mid-range]. This temperature seems to be the best for this oven and me.

The syrup made with Chambord was delicious. I let it soak overnight and made the ganache the next day.
The ganache went just fine.




Everyone liked it this cake ~ We kept half and gave half to friends.

  2. Thanks, Lois, but I got them last minute and Wow! were they tart. I had a little syrup left over and macerated them in that for serving with the cake. Crisis averted.
