Spectacular cake--can I summon the energy to do all this in my crowded kitchen? Like Naomi, I don't have a stand mixer (where would I put it? next to the non-existent microwave perhaps?) but chocolate cake. . . meringue. . . ganache. A girl can dream.
Okay, well, I never would have done it if I hadn't been on assignment, but...Nancy, I know your kitchen. Also, I did it all in my Spanish kitchen here in Madrid. It's a lot of separate steps, but each is really simple. So, I think...yeah, go for it? It's pretty great.
I'll take up the challenge and let you know--it's the meringue that has me kinda timid but it seems absolutely essential. Also, I know Spanish kitchens and their limitations, but WHAT are you doing in Madrid?
So impressive. But amazing diligence required, plus a stand mixer, neither of which I have on hand right now. O'm happy to imagine many others making the cake.
Shoot! I'm sorry. 1 tbsp corn starch. I don't have a stand mixer right now. I did it all with a handheld mixer. I just figured it would be easier in a stand mixer. It could be done with just a whisk, too!

(note: The amount of cornstarch is missing...)

Yes I'd be whisking! Thank-you. And I hope your holidays are full of ease and good people.
obvi, the whisking is in lieu of going to the gym
I read the article, and enjoyed it as well. Didn’t realize no photo, did think about recipe, thanks for clarification! Am getting book this weekend!
This is dreamy. Just THINK of the joy of eating it! Thank you, Tamar. I Kees your feet 😋
