This cake has never failed me, I am getting better in making it. This time, i made double the amount of Ganache, which made it easier without having to stinge on the filling and there was enough to cover the whole cake with ease.
Your chocolate cake looks really good! Just wondering what chocolate did you use this time, it seems much darker then your previous Chocolate Financier Cake? Thanks for sharing!
I know the last time you made this you had to substitute unsweetened coconut milk because you didn't have heavy whipping cream I was wondering would it be possible if I substitute half and half for the heavy whipping cream.
What's unsweetened coconut milk BTW? Are the can once that we get at the oriental store ie. Aroy brand count as unsweetened coconut milk?
unsweetened coconut milk is the one used for curries and dessert.
To use it for the ganache, use only the thick cream that is coagulated. Put can in the fridge to get the fat coagulated. Read the label on the can, get the highest saturated fat content - Aroy-D has one which has 85% saturated fat.
You could use half and half but the ganache will not be so flavorful.

for the ganache, i used 6 ozs of semi-sweet choc chips and 3 ozs baker's unsweetened plus 6 tbsp sugar. The rest are the same except double the amount
