Glaze recipe adapted from Recipetin


Note:
Baked the cake 1 day ahead and chill in the fridge. On the next day I make the glaze first since it needs 2 to 3 hours to cooldown(room temp only). Then I make the chocolate ganache, I let it sit at room temp for about 30min.,then put in the fridge for 30 minutes. I mix it with spatula until the consistency changes. It should be not thin or not to hard so be careful when whipping it. Ganache harden fast in the fridge.
Once the cake is fully covered in ganache let it sit in the fridge for 2 to 3 hours or freeze it... smooth the ganache cake as much as possible. Cake should be very cold before pouring the glaze.

I poured the glazed twice which is not recomended, just pour it 1 time. The remaining glaze can be use again just store it in airtight container in the fridge...

HAPPY BAKING! ❤
