Hi everyone,
I made a chocolate cake a day before stacking my cake, I just left it in the fridge overnight with cling film. However, after a day in the fridge with coated with chocolate granache it wasn't soft anymore, but mostly dry. Whereas, the cake piece I left on the counter was still soft for days. What did I do wrong?
Hey babe, that’s so strange, usually when you cover your cakes in buttercream or ganache it will keep your sponges moist as it holds in the sponge’s moisture, and usually if your sponge is left out on the side uncovered it will dry out 😅 so I’m puzzled with this one lol. All I can think is maybe you need a bit more moisture added to your recipe xx
I know I was also surprised, the one in the fridge changed colour to light brown whereas the one on the counter was still a dark brown cake. But also it was my first time baking a cake with ganache so maybe something went wrong... I will try your recipe for a vanilla sponge with buttercream instead
