He is not here: for He is risen ... (Matthew 28:6)
Happy Easter to all! I hope you are having a wonderful day.
To celebrate Easter, I made a cake that I have had my eye on since the recipe was published in March - Jordan Rondel’s Blackberry and Orange Cake with Chocolate Ganache. This is an autumn cake with a delicious combination of flavours.
Here is the lovely vanilla cake before it is enrobed in ganache:
My cake is a miniature version of the recipe - only a quarter of the size of the original. Luscious blackberries are embedded in the cake, and orange zest is mixed into the cake batter.
Once the cake is cooled, a dark chocolate ganache is poured over the cake, before the cake is decorated with more blackberries and orange zest. To make my cake an Easter celebration, I also put small candy coated “bird’s” eggs on top of the cake.
Here is a peek inside of this luscious, fruity cake:
I loved this cake, and highly recommend that you make it if you like fruit and chocolate flavours together. The recipe is at the link above.
I like chocolate and passionfruit but not so much orange but it sounds very versatile!
ReplyDeleteDear Gaye, what a delicious looking treat of a cake! Actually I like berries and chocolate together and I love the way you decorated your cake for Easter!
ReplyDeleteI hope you are enjoying Easter weekend!
Stay safe, my friend and Happy Easter wishes!
Orange and blackberries are such a good match for chocolate - this cake sounds like a very adult easter treat (ie I would love it but not sure about kids)
