Chocolate Torte with Chambord Ganache For Torigirl35

This video is for Torigirl35.
Yes I know the video is long but Frankie drove me nuts during the filming & editing.

Ingredients for cake:
1 cup all purpose flour
1/4 cup plus 2 tbs of unsweetened natural cocoa(not dutch processed)
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp of salt
1/2 cup of unsalted butter, softened
1 1/4 cup of packed light brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
1/2 cup of HOT water

Ingredients for Ganache:
3/4 cup of Heavy Cream
2 tbs Unsalted butter
1 cup of semi sweet dark chocolate chips
2 tbs of Chambord liquor

Position a rack in the lower third of the oven and heat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease the bottom of a 9x2 inch round cake pan and line with parchment paper.
IN a bowl Sift the flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt together.
In another larger bowl combine the melted butter and brown sugar with a wooden spoon. Add the eggs and vanilla. Stir until well blended.
Add the flour mixture all at once until the flour is just moistened. Pour hot water over the batter, stir until just incorporated and the batter is smooth. Scrape the batter into the prepared pan. Bake until toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean about 30 minutes.. Let cool in the pan on a rack for 10 minutes. Run a thin knife along the edge and invert the cake (remove parchment paper) Invert the cake again on the rack and let cool completely.
Once cool set the rack over a baking sheet or foil. Pour Ganache over the cake until covered, let it run down to cover the sides. Let it set for about 2 hours.

I would stick with the brown sugar... it gives it a certain flavor that you wont get with regular sugar

Oh my god, that cake looked soooo good~! *Ish a chocolate freak* Too bad I'm just a freshman at college right now, so I can't really make anything like that xD; Maybe I can somehow send this to my father's girlfriend, and see if she can make it for when I come home for Thanksgiving. This is something I really wanna try xD

And btw, you and your husband Frankie are so damn cute together~! Kinda reminds me of my dad and his girlfriend xD
