I saw this recipe being made on Good Food Live one day and it looked delicious. I now use this cake in my baking rotation and there is never a crumb left. Try and use the best quality chocolate you can-it does make a difference. For a variation on the ganache, try adding some grated orange zest or chopped mint or even some finely chopped nuts.
Using a metal spoon, fold in the whisked whites and cornflour in two batches.
07Pour into a lined 20cm cake tin, and bake for approx 40 minutes until set and cooked through.
08Remove from oven and allow to cool in the tin for 15 minutes, then invert onto a serving plate.
09For the ganache:.
10In a pan, bring the cream to a boil. Place the chocolate into a heatproof bowl and pour in the cream, mixing well. Mix in the butter and spread ganache over the cake.
