Drippy Cake

Hi,
I’m just about to attempt my first Drippy cake, can I use the normal white choc ganache recipe to cover the cake or will that be too stiff. I have looked at a couple of recipes that recommend using whipping cream, but that seems to need lots of faffing about with temperature. What does Paul use please?
Regards,

Dotty

Hi Dotty

I expect you’ve already managed to get the right consistency for your drippy cake. If you haven’t, try 2:1 ration chocolate to cream for white chocolate and drip over a chilled cake. The covering ratio of 3:1 will be too thick and may not drizzle down as much as you’d like. 🙂
