Black Forest Butter Ganache

Concept

Black Forest is possibly the most perfect chocolate cake ever dreamed up. Rich and creamy, yet light and bright. One slice, two forks, the perfect date at your local German bakery.

Build

Toasted almond butter forms the base, adding warmth and baked-good character. Bright Kokoa Kamili cacao keeps the cherry clear and lively, while Costa Esmeraldas cacao from Ecuador adds depth and chocolate weight. Tart cherries keep it sharp, and a touch of milk, butter, and vanilla round everything out.

Finish

Deep chocolate and tart cherry with a smooth, buttery close. Familiar, indulgent, and an adult way to disguise cake as breakfast.
