Salted Chocolate Ganache Cake

We loved this cake! I used just 2 TB brown sugar in the egg white and a very dark, even smoky, bittersweet chocolate. The cake has a great crumbly texture and a very adult strong chocolate flavor. It's like something you'd get in a good Italian restaurant. The coarse salt (and it needs to be a coarse salt) on top is a great touch and next time I might add just a wee bit more.

This is an excellent recipe. The cake is moist and the salt adds an unusual flavor that my family really enjoyed. It was easy to make and I will definately make it again. I didin't change anything.

I made this for a Thanksgiving dinner and it is a very pretty cake. I doubled the amount of vanilla after reading that the cake can taste a bit floury. Next time I will add another oz of chocolate to the frosting just to have a little more. Easily get 10 servings out of this.

This was an interesting cake with the salt. It was really good and everyone really liked it. I followed the recipe exactly and will be making it again. I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 because like a lot of light cakes it was a little floury to me but still yummy.

This cake has become my go-to recipe for simple and fancy occasions. It is always met with rave reviews and I often receive requests for it. A great tasting and shockingly simple recipe. I make it exactly like it is and serve it with everything from roast to thai. Enjoy.

Very easy and tasty! I didn't think this tasted floury as other reviews have stated, but I don't think I will go through the expense of buying cake flour the next time I make this; I will just use all purpose. Make sure you use coarse grained salt. The sea salt that I had on hand was fine grained and just disappeared into the chocolate.

My daughter made this for Thanksgiving. I love chocolate but thought the cake was blah and the ganache was just ok. The leftovers were still on the counter 5 days after Thanksgiving. Not a winner at our house.

Fabulous dessert, very light and flavorful. I followed the recipe and found the preparations exceptionally easy. I've used this recipe for Thanksgiving and Christmas. It's a holiday favorite!
