  • 1/4 cup (60 g) heavy whipping cream
  • Green Food coloring (A Few Drops)

CHOCOLATE CAKE

  • 4 oz (115 g) butter (Melted)
  • 4 1/2 oz (124 g) dark chocolate chunks (Melted)
  • 1 1/4 cup (155 g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 Tbsp (25 g) sugar
  • 3 eggs

DECORATION

  • candy decorations (Eyes | Bones)
  • Chocolate Sprinkles
  • 1 oz (30 g) dark chocolate chunks (Melted)

Instructions
 

WHITE CHOCOLATE GANACHE (DAY BEFORE)

  • Prepare the Chocolate Ganache the day before.
  • Pour the heavy whipping cream into the Mini Round Mold and bring it just to a boil in microwave, about 30 seconds. Add the white chocolate chips and swirl to coat all chips. Allow to sit for 2 minutes, add a few drops of the green food coloring, then stir. Film to contact and refrigerate overnight.

CHOCOLATE CAKE

  • Preheat oven to 350F/180C. Place your 6-Round Flexipan® Tray on the top of your Medium perforated baking sheet.
  • Place the butter and dark chocolate chunks into the Mini Round Mold and heat in the microwave for about 30 seconds at a time (1 minute total). Stir in between. Set aside.
  • In a mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and sugar. Make a well and add the eggs. Gently start mixing inwards going outwards with your mini whisk. Add the cooled melted butter/chocolate mixture. Mix until it is all incorporated. Scoop your batter into your Flexipan®. 

BAKE!

  • Bake for 12 minutes at 350F/180C (Every oven heats differently, monitor your Cakes from 10min). It is ready when the toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  • Once your Chocolate Cakes are out of the oven, let them cool down for about 10 minutes, then flip to unmold and transfer to your cooling rack.

ASSEMBLY

  • Take the chocolate ganache out of the refrigerator and whip it until nice and creamy. IMPORTANT: Do not overmix! Then, spread it over your chocolate cake. Decorate to your linking. I used candy eyes, candy bones, chocolate sprinkles and melted chocolate for the mouth. Enjoy & Bon Appétit!
