- 1 - 1 1⁄4 cup cream

directions

- Add the eggs to the sugar / butter.
- Alternately add the flour mixture, yoghurt and boiling water to the sugar / butter.
- Add the mixture to two 9" circular pans and bake in the oven at 350F for 30-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the cake comes out dry.
- Cool the cakes while you make the ganache (overnight works best).
- For the ganache, mix the sugar into the cream and heat in a saucepan at medium.
- Bring it to a light boil, and then pour over the baking chocolate squares in a medium bowl.
- Mix until the chocolate is all melted, and the mixture is not lumpy.
- Then place in the fridge for 30-60 minutes, until it has thickened.
- Pour a little ganache over one of the baked cakes, and then place the second cake on top of the first one.
- Pour the rest of the ganache over the two cakes, and then leave to cool.
