Cooled cake in tine and ganache setting for now.

The cake was supposed to be made in a single 20cm tin, then sliced into three.
Feedback on the internet suggested that it could only reasonably be split in two, so I made it in two 20cm tins.

It didn't rise as much as I hoped, although I adhered to the recipe.
Other internet feedback suggested it would sink in the middle and be very gooey, but my two halves cooked within the expected (reduced) time and were firm. So now I worry they are overcooked.

I have yet to ice (frost) with the ganache, although that does look wonderfully glossy. It just doesn't taste all that good to my mouth. Of course I am not a huge choc fan and I don't have a sweet tooth.

The cake and ganache were easy-peasy I admit.
But not cheap.
I have a feeling this will not be a School Fayre cake after all.

I'll hold out for Wolf's 'Nana Bread.

Just send it over here!
