Carefully pour chocolate mixture onto top center of cake; spread to edge, allowing some to drizzle down side. Garnish top of cake with toffee candy. Refrigerate about 1 hour or until chocolate is set. Store covered in refrigerator.

EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

Ganache, the cream and chocolate mixture, is ready to use when it mounds slightly when dropped from a spoon. It will become firmer the longer it cools.

Glaze the cake on a rack with waxed paper under the rack; any extra drips of the ganache will fall onto the waxed paper. When the ganache hardens, you can easily and neatly transfer the cake to your serving plate.

Stir 2 tablespoons freeze-dried or powdered instant coffee (dry) or 1 tablespoon grated orange peel into the cake batter.

I made this cake for my husbands birthday. Instead of using the chocolate fudge cake I bought Decadent Supreme Chocolate Mousse cake and made three layers. I used the mousse to frost the middle layers and frosted with whipped milk chocolate icing before topping with the Ganache. It was incredible!!! Like something you'd buy from a high end bakery. Thanks Betty!
