I made a chocolate cake filled with a vanilla Italian pastry cream topped with chocolate ganache. Mmmmmmmmmmmm 😋 😋 😋 They are decadent!! Sooooooo much chocolate. The pastry cream provides just enough relief from all that chocolate. Next time, I'll use a different type of chocolate cake because this one is too light and airy to hold up to being filled. Thankfully, that doesn't affect the taste at all!!
As you can see, the cake crumbs easily and it got in the filling when I cut it, but it is a delightful, very chocolate experience nonetheless!! I have left over pastry cream so I'm making some cream puffs or eclairs with it in the next day or two. Mmmmmmmmmmmm 😋 😋 😋 I might make some of each!!!
I made these cakes in honor of a great friend's birthday to celebrate them!! You know who you are!!! 😁😍🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳😍😁
As you can see, I have a lot of pastry cream left!! If I don't make cream puffs or eclairs, I can just turn it into chocolate pudding... 😋 so many choices that all sound delicious 😋 😍
