6. 4. Bake in the oven for 35-40 minutes until tester comes out clean. Cool completely before frosting.

7. Ganache:

8. 1. Add the chocolate into a shallow glass and heat-proof pan (like Pyrex). Heat cream over medium heat in a saucepan until it comes to a boil. Remove and pour over the chocolate. Do not disturb for a few minutes, at which point you can stir to make sure the cream and chocolate are well blended.
