Is the size of instant pudding 6 ounces or 3 ounces?
Wendie
Sorry bout the confusion Betty. Let the ganache cool about 15 minutes or else it just run off the cake.
Betty Latham
Help! I cant wait to make this! But am confused-- the recipe says let the ganache cool for 15 to 20 minutes before drizzling over cake. The "helpful hints" before the actual recipe say to pour icing over cake after cooling two to three minutes. WHICH IS CORRECT???
Wendie
Either way is fine Rhiya! Enjoy 🙂

Hi! I just made the cake and it smells delicious. I am saving it for tomorrow.
Should I put it in the fridge or can I leave it out?
Wendie
Hmmm...maybe you added to much cream? You can always add a few more chocolate chips if it looks runny, but keep in mind it will thicken as it cools.
Lori
My ganache was way too running what did I’d do wrong
I cooled it for 30 mins before pouring on
Lucie

Wendie
No the ganache can be drizzled on ahead of time, even the night before.
Mary
Does the ganache have to be drizzled shortly before serving or can it be done ahead of time?
