How To Make Ganache _ Ganache Recipe For Cake _ Chocolate Ganache Recipe

Sifting is optional but it sparks joy for me .

Grab a whisk and whisk it up .

This recipe is such a great way to use up oranges and have like an amazing explosion of flavor .

Orange is not used enough for desserts .

I want one cup of sugar in another bowl .

That's 200 g .

You get a lot of questions about reducing sugar in recipes and while you can reduce the sugar , there's a consequence and it's not just about the sweetness , sugar does give you that wonderful sweet flavor .

But the other thing it does is make things soft .

So that soft melt in your mouth texture you get from cake is not just from the butter and everything else , the sugar changes the texture .

So as you reduce that , you're gonna get a Breier baked good so you can do it but just be forewarned .

This recipe has a little bit of a twist and some of you might know it already , but we're not gonna add the eggs and oil and stuff .

And right now we're gonna add the orange zest .

If you don't have a rasp , just grab a sharp knife and you're going to carefully surgically remove the skin of your orange little strips like this .

And you see it's hard to get just the skin but some pith is ok .

Then you're gonna give it a nice fine chop .

It's a little bit more work for sure .

But you end up getting those tiny pieces anyways and some people have a thing about texture .

So I will say that using a zester is much better for um having no piss .

See , it removes very little , just the top , tap that out .

And now for the fun part , use your clean hands and say bye to your scale by scale .

We're going to mush this all together doing .

This is one of my favorite tricks for any citrus uh recipe .

This expresses all of the oil out .

So it's going to break down that zest .

So you won't have any like chewy moments that get stuck in your teeth .

Not that that would happen anyways , it also releases all of the flavors .

The flavor is just coating all the sugar .

It's gonna dissolve and everything else and be amazingly delicious .

So you can see the sugar is totally changing color right now and that's just from orange oil that's coming out of the skin .

I'll do this for a little bit .

I really just wanna get all that orange flavor out and have this be packed with deliciousness and look at that .

Do you see how it's sticking together ?

It's almost like a wet sand texture .

That's all the orange flavor that we worked in .

So kudos to you for making that happen .

This works with lemon cupcakes and lemon cake too .

So use this for all citrus recipes .

It is great right now .

I have three naked oranges as my mother in law calls them .

And that's true .

If you go into someone's kitchen , you see all the oranges and lemons are stripped , you know they mean business .

Um I need three quarters of a cup of oil , orange juice right now and of course , I don't have to tell you this .
