WHAT : Chocolate Moist Cake with Cranberry Compote created by Executive Chef Andrew Roche
THE CHEF SAYS : “ What is special about the chocolate cake is that it ’ s the only recipe where the ganache gets baked in the oven . To prepare the dish , the cake and the ganache are each baked twice . Each separately first and then together as one . This is a technique that is not used frequently in pastry . It is also gluten free which makes it extra moist and bursting with flavor .”
