Hi! I’m wondering if I could just omit the strawberries for an exclusively chocolate ganache. Let me know if that would work of if other adjustments would be necessary. Thanks!

I agree, now that I’m older when I think of someone’s birthday I think of cake, not just the fact that I get to have some but also what it will look like because off course, I always put myself in charge of making it.

Tried this recipe for a friend’s birthday.
The cake was divine. Unfortunately I did not have fresh raspberries for the top but was still great.

i loved your insight on birthdays. It does seem that we spend so much time trying to make our bdays big and perfect but we barely remebers them. We have little flashes and inside jokes but we never remember all the details we plan so carefully before hand. But I do love the cake and the use of a fruit in conjunction rather than just straight chocolate ! awesome job keep it up!

Hi Elissa! I know it’s not your bithday, but I deduce you’ll turn 19 in less than a month. Again, I had to say something about this cake. The combination of chocolate and raspberry in the ganache must be terrific. I love this cake and it has to be one of my future cooking tasks in my kitchen.

Cheers!

We did a winter version for Emma’s birthday, meaning we didn’t buy flown-in raspberries from halfway round the world, but stuck with good organic frozen for the ganache and substituted black and white cows from the Amish Grocery for serious crunch. Cake was so rich we never could finish it. Lovely recipe.

Haha no I don’t think anything else could be that good. It’s to die for. :)

But yes, the ganache recipe worked for the cupcakes too. I’ve usually had a little bit left over, but it was always used up somehow (ganache covered oreos…sooo good). It’s been awhile since I made the cupcakes, so I can’t remember for sure, but I want to say it might have been 18 minutes at 350. It might require a bit of experimentation to find out for certain though.. Hope this helps! :)
