Birthday Cake - Moist Chocolate Cake with Ganache


Today is Jac’s birthday, a friend at work in my department so her team mates wanted me to bake her a birthday cake. I was considering between carrot cheese cake or moist chocolate cake, and in the end settled for moist chocolate cake. I guess we can’t go wrong with chocolate cake! This one has a layer of ganache in between the 2 layers of cake and covered with chocolate ganache as well (yummy…but fattening for sure).

Initially I wanted to decorate it with some fresh strawberries but this didn’t work out because I stored the strawberries in the freezer and when they were out, all the berries turned soft. It was already 9+pm at night and even if I can make it to the nearest supermarket, I don’t think I’d have the energy to continue decorating the cake afterwards. So, what you see here is a last minute idea ;p Not too bad, I guess??

I’m glad all of them loved the cake and they even thought the deco was cute. Haha….
