MEXICAN CHOCOLATE CAKE & GANACHE
It’s no secret – I’m a lover of all things chocolate. Throw some coffee and cinnamon into the mix and my tastebuds are in heaven. So what is it that I’m up to….?
Today I’m taking two of my favorite warm drinks and combining them. To make a drink? Sure, you can – it’s delicious! Think of a mocha cinnamon coffee – yum. I’m taking it one step further though – I’ve created a Mexican Chocolate Cake and Ganache. You just know this is gonna be good!
Are you familiar with Nestle Abuelita? It’s a Mexican hot chocolate, but it’s not one of those packets of powdered mix. It’s the real deal – it’s a big round tablet of solid chocolate goodness. It’s one of those amazing ingredients that have been hidden right under your nose for years. It pretty much puts all other hot chocolate mixes to shame. I’ve been a fan of Nestle Abuelita for years and always keep some on hand for a quick, warm, comforting cup of hot cocoa.
