Today there will be Ginny’s birthday party (the beautiful girl who often tastes my dishes and you can see in many pictures of this blog), 11 years old and I just finished the cake. Some friends will be here at home, to spend an afternoon together. The cake is a sponge cake stuffed with soft Rocher Cream. It is a really easy cream: a mix between the famous and incomparable Nutella with mascarpone cheese, mix and that’s it.
Then, I’ll cover with a dark chocolate ganache and try to decorate with various bits of chocolate and sugaries.
For the Dark ganache: melt in a double boiler (or microwave), dark chopped chocolate (or chocolate chips) and then mix it with cream. I use 1/3 of cream and 2/3 dark chocolate.
For the Chocolate (classic) ganache: melt in a double boiler (or microwave), dark chopped chocolate (or chocolate chips) and then mix it with cream. Right proportion for classic chocolate ganache is 1/2 cream and 1/2 dark chocolate. Cool it and whip the mixture with electric whisk.

Then I’ll prepare a lots of small pizzas: here in Italy are a birthday must! Potato chips, popcorn … of course, it was all strictly ordered. Well, tonight I just have to prepare the second dough for pizzas, and tomorrow morning the third. So are delicious and crunchy. Now I just have to enjoy the Christmas tree and a good book.
Some hours after…tadaaaaa! Here is the cake, a sponge one stuffed with Rocher Cream and covered with dark chocolate ganache and many many many many….sugaries.
