Chocolate Ganache Cake
PREP: 20 minutes BAKE: 20 minutes + cooling
Taste of Home Test Kitchen
Although this cake looks very elegant and like something you’d serve only for special occasions, it’s really not tricky to prepare. Everyone loves the rich chocolate ganache poured over the top.
2 ounces 53% cacao dark baking chocolate, coarsely chopped
2 tablespoons butter
3/4 cup boiling water
3/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup buttermilk
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon orange extract
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
GANACHE:
3 ounces 53% cacao dark baking chocolate, coarsely chopped
1/4 cup half-and-half cream
• Place chocolate and butter in a large bowl; add boiling water and stir until smooth. Stir in the sugar, buttermilk, egg and extracts. Combine the flour, baking soda and salt; beat into chocolate mixture just until blended.
• Transfer to a 9-in. round baking pan coated with cooking spray. Bake at 350° for 18-22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack to cool completely. Place rack on a waxed paperlined baking sheet.
• For ganache, place chocolate in a small bowl. In a small saucepan, bring cream just to a boil. Pour over chocolate; whisk until smooth. Cool for 10 minutes or until slightly thickened.
• Slowly pour ganache over cake, allowing some ganache to drape over the sides. Refrigerate until serving. Cut into wedges.
YIELD: 12 servings.

I just had a close call with cancer and decided that we, as a family, need to develop a healthier lifestyle starting with what we eat! Taste of Home has never disappointed as far as great tasting recipes so I am anxious to give this book a try.

We are trying to eat a little lighter and this cookbook helps with that. If you are counting points plus, it's easy to figure the points with the nutrition information given. It was good enough that I bought one for my daughter too.
