Successful batch done with the sister. 4 hours … finished at 2:30 in the morning, half with chocolate ganache half with buttercream. Ok & who the heck writes these recipes …

“Think of the consistency of molten lava. For the best results, punch the batter a few times, check the consistency, then punch a few more times, etc.”

Molten lava …
