- Leave to cool for about 10 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack to cool completely.

- For ganache, bring cream just to a boil and pour over the chocolate. Whisk until smooth and leave to cool until slightly thickened. If you wish the ganache to be more fluid in order to pour over the cake, add a bit more cream.
