For Chocolate Ganache:

8 oz semi-sweet or dark chocolate(I even use milk chocolate sometimes)

8 oz heavy cream

METHOD:

Combine chocolate and heavy cream in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat for 2 minutes and stir. Heat for an additional 1-2 minutes or until chocolate has melted completely and can be whisked and incorporated into the cream. Ganache usually thicken as it cools and when it’s completely cool, it will be thick and fudgy. If there's any leftover, store it in an airtight container and use it for a batch of cookies or enjoy it with some fresh strawberrys!Yum!!!

ASSEMBLING:

Pour 1/3 of the prepared ganache over one of the cakes(or smear the ganache if you've allowed it to cool and thicken before assembling the cake). Let it sit for a minute or two,then carefully top with the other cake and spread ganache over the entire cake. Transfer to a serving dish and indulge in pure chocolate bliss!;)
