As its name indicates, it is made of buttermilk whose acidity helps balance the other ingredients and brings a more tender texture. You will not need to soak it because it is so moist in the mouth. Buttermilk can be easily replaced by plain yogurt or sour cream, or you can make your own buttermilk by simply adding 1-2 tablespoons of white vinegar to your dairy milk. Whipped ganacheFor the chocolate frosting, I chose the dark chocolate whipped ganache recipe to go with strawberries. This chocolate ganache is only made of 2 ingredients, baking chocolate, and full heavy cream. Compared to the simple chocolate ganache recipe, it contains a higher ratio of cream and elle est fouettée jusqu'à obtenir une texture aérienne, onctueuse et ferme. It has a delicious chocolate taste and a fluffy texture like buttercream but is much lighter and tastier. Perfect for filling a layer cake, smoothing the outside, or decorating with a pastry bag. You will find the quantities and complete instructions in the recipe card below.
