Chocolate Cake With Ganache Glaze

My husband and I love to cook a special dinner with each other on Saturday’s, mainly cause of my food allergies I cannot go out dinning as I would only be eating salads.  So we make of day of cooking and baking together and then sit down to a candle lite dinner and dessert.

This is one of my favorite cakes to make with the Ganache  Glaze and topped with whipped cream.  On the LCHF diet it fits in perfectly and satisfies any mental craving for chocolate, cake or sweets.

You can always reheat the Ganache if it gets too thick on you using a double boiler.

Recipe Notes

I cut the Chocolate Cake in half crosswise and doubled it up to make a double layer cake and put the Ganache Glaze on just like an icing, put it in between the layers as well as on top and let it run down the sides.

I also like to add a dollop of whipped cream to my Chocolate Cake  when serving....hum mm so good!
