Cool the cakes in the pans for about 10 minutes, then remove them to wire racks and cool completely.

Stir in the chocolate chips.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 4: Whisk the ganache and layer the cake<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2084049\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Chocolate-ganache-cake_TOHD24_60144_JenaCarlin_6.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Step 4 of Taste Recipes Chocolate Ganache Cake\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Jena Carlin for Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Place the chocolate for the ganache in a large bowl. In a small saucepan, bring the heavy whipping cream to a boil. Pour the cream over the chocolate and let it stand for five minutes. Whisk until it is smooth, then stir in the vanilla. Cool the ganache at room temperature, stirring occasionally; then cover and refrigerate until cold. Beat the ganache until it has soft peaks, 15 to 30 seconds. Do not overbeat it!<\/p>\n<p>Place one layer of the cake on a serving plate, then spread half the filling on top. Repeat with a second layer and place the third layer of cake on top. Frost the top and side of the cake with the ganache.<\/p>\n<p><em>Test Kitchen Tip:<\/em> To create the unique &#8220;naked cake&#8221; look, spread a layer of frosting around the outside thin enough to leave the layers exposed.

This cake includes a dairy-based filling and needs to stay in the fridge.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Can you freeze chocolate ganache cake?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Yes! You can freeze slices of chocolate ganache cake if you don\u2019t plan on eating the whole thing in less than a week. Line a baking sheet and place the slices on it to freeze for three to four hours. Then, wrap each frozen slice in storage wrap to store. When it\u2019s time to eat, transfer the slices you want to the fridge to defrost overnight.<\/p>\n<h2>Chocolate Ganache Cake Tips<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2084053\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Chocolate-ganache-cake_TOHD24_60144_JenaCarlin_10.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Taste Recipes Chocolate Ganache Cake (60144)\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Jena Carlin for Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Does chocolate ganache harden on the cake?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes!

Your brewed coffee can be from the instant variety. Sprinkle in a teaspoon of the instant coffee into your ganache as you whisk it together to really enhance the coffee flavor.<\/p>\n<h3>Why is my ganache cake cracking?<\/h3>\n<p>It is likely because the ganache is dried out.
