I’m not sure about that, but I’m pretty sure the batter will be O.K. for a day or 2. How about making all, then freezing some; cake freezes well if wrapped well.

Category: QA
Question by Db Stall: What goes good in a chocolate ganache layer cake?
If I was to make a chocolate cake and cut it into 4 layers and frost each layer with Chocolate ganache, what would go good with this?
Any suggestions would be good, please also say if you have already tried this and how well it turned out.
I am leaning towards things that doesn’t have to be refridgerated for 3-5 Days. But all suggestions are welcome, since most chocolate cake doesn’t last that long any how, lol. =P

Just a small tip.. when making cake, always add about a tablespoon of extra oil. It makes the cake stay moist, even days later.

Gluten Free Chocolate Cake – Simply Good
Category: Articles
There are times when simple is enough; in fact it is more than enough, it is perfect. This is a gluten-free chocolate cake for just those times; after a casual dinner with family or friends, on a rainy afternoon curled up with a good book and a cup of coffee or in the evening snuggling with a loved one watching a movie on the couch.
I love this cake warm with just a sprinkling of powdered sugar. It is chocolaty, dense and not too sweet. Of course you can always glam it up if you feel so inclined. Glaze it with chocolate ganache, frost with your favorite icing or split into layers, spread with jam and dollop with lightly whipped cream. This cake is like a great pair of jeans; comfortable, reliable and easy to dress up or down.
Take your ingredients out of the fridge and let come to room temperature about half an hour before starting the cake. You can substitute the flours and starches with your favorite all purpose gluten free flour blend if you like. If there is already xanthan gum in the blend, leave it out of the recipe.
Simply Good Chocolate Cake
Ingredients:
½ cup superfine white rice flour
½ cup sweet sorghum flour
½ cup superfine sweet rice flour
½ cup tapioca starch
1 teaspoon xanthan gum
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon kosher or fine sea salt
1 teaspoon instant espresso powder (optional but intensifies the chocolate taste)
2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1 stick unsalted butter, at room temperature
¾ cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs, at room temperature
1 cup sour cream, at room temperature
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips, melted and cooled slightly
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Directions:
Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly spray an 8 inch cake pan with gluten-free non-stick cooking spray, cut a piece of parchment to fit the bottom of the pan, place it in the pan and spray that lightly.
In a medium mixing bowl whisk together the flours, tapioca starch, xanthan gum, baking powder, baking soda, salt, espresso and cocoa powders.
In a mixing bowl of an electric mixer, preferably fitted with a paddle attachment, cream together the butter and sugar on medium high speed until light, about 2 minutes. Scrape down the sides of the bowl, turn the mixer to low and add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
With the mixer on low, slowly add half the flour mixture, the sour cream and then the remaining flour mixture. Add the melted chocolate and vanilla and mix until just blended. The batter will be thick. Using a spatula, give the batter a final mix by hand to make sure all the ingredients are fully incorporated. Put the batter into the prepared pan.
Bake for 25 – 30 minutes or until a tooth pick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool in pan for 5 minutes and then transfer to a wire rack to finish cooling. Serve warm, room temperature or cold.
Serves 8.

bag? I am making a Halloween treat bag for my kids and nephew (2 1/2, 16 months, 12 months). I am making all this from scratch, but i want to know if this sounds like “enough” or ok foods for them. I am making 2 cake ball suckers each (balls of cake on a stick covored in chocolate), 2 orange suckers with gummy worms in it, (they are not huge) and 2 cookies each decorated for halloween. And i am going to get each a little $1 snow glob with halloween stuff in them.
** My 16 month old is going to stay with my grandparents the day I give them their treat bags, would it be “polite” of me to put extra in his bag? (since I think they would want some =)
I dont mean good=healthy.
