Dark Chocolate Filling
This filling is a perfect accompaniment to any cake you’ll frost with Chocolate Buttercream Frosting.
Ingredients
Method
- Bring water in a double boiler to a boil.
- In the top of the double boiler (or in a metal bowl set over the pot), mix egg yolk and heavy cream.
- Whisk in sugar, chocolate, and butter.
- Cook, stirring constantly, until bubbles form on the edges.
- Remove from heat. Beat with a mixer until it thickens.
- Let cool slightly.
- Spread onto cake layer, leaving some room on the edges so that the filling doesn’t squeeze out when you put the top layer on.
Nutrition
Notes
Makes enough filling for one 2-layer cake. Very low in sodium.
