Purple Layer Cake with Blueberry Frosting and Ganache Drip
Introduction
Each slice of this cake is a piece of chocolate and blueberry ganache art! The cake’s chocolate layers provide winning competition for frosting, which is never a bad thing! The frosting features real blueberries that match the vivid purple of the frosting, giving the cake an appealing, homemade, special feel, and bursting with blueberry flavour without overshadowing the chocolate of the cake.
The layered cake is unique for its texture. Light cake, dense frosting, and shiny ganache combine with a nut mix and frosting crumb coating, if you choose to add some, to give a bit of crunch. The ganache drip is simple enough for a beginner.
The common mistakes and tips will help you get to the perfect ganache drip and help you avoid the mistakes when you get started.
