They were right! mixture is very thin so it'll seep through fix in trays..
Loved it after leaving the icing to seep through the cake for a day...
icing is the best part❤

Excellent cake- very moist and rich.
I found it took 40 minutes to bake, but maybe my oven is slow.
I made the ganache in a bowl over simmering water rather than directly in a pan as I have a history of burning chocolate!
For the ganache I used half 50% cocoa and half 70% cocoa plain chocolate as I find if you use all 70% it’s not sweet enough. I also added a tablespoon of brandy to the ganache.

Minimal fuss and flop proof
