Method

Procedure

  1. Trim the top of the cake, if necessary, to make it level. Turn it upside down. Cut it in half horizontally to split into 2 layers.
  2. Brush both halves with syrup to moisten.
  3. Using a pastry bag with a medium plain tip, pipe the ganache onto the bottom layer, making a spiral that starts in the center and covers the layer completely.
