For a last-minute double-birthday celebration over the Chinese New Year festival,Wei whipped up a classic chocolate cake with dark chocolate ganache glaze. Thank goodness, the ingredients for chocolate cake are almost a staple in the pantry. But due to the lack of time, the usual decoration was lacking.
Not to worry, her resourceful friends grabbed a bunch of crunchy cashew nuts, a Chinese new year goodie, and started to lay them around the cake. Creative eh?! Tasted good too! The savoury nuts added a crunch and enhanced the taste of the chocolate with a bit of saltiness.
Sounds like we found a new cake flavour! :)
What we made:
- Chocolate whole cake
- Decorated with crunchy cashew nuts and frosted with dark chocolate ganache
