Cinnamon-Orange Ganache
serves 6-12
Don’t be scared by the name. Ganache is just a mixture of chocolate and cream that, when poured over cake, gives it a smooth finish. You can make the ganache while the cake cools, but don’t let it cool too much before using.

1/8 teaspoon orange oil
4 ounces chopped bittersweet chocolate (65-70 percent cacao), finely chopped

1. Heat the cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until just barely beginning to bubble at the edges.

If the chocolate is still too thick to pour, add another tablespoon of cream, and mix again.
