This was WAY too liquidy. I mean, chocolate + cream can't go wrong, but I added a lot more chocolate to get to the consistency I wanted.
Made ganache because I'd run out of butter and couldn't make the buttercream frosting, as planned. This was sumptuous, delectable, glossy and well behaved. I added 2-3 oz more chocolate to get it to the consistency I wanted. I let it sit for over five minutes before frosting the cake, and it was fine. I made half the recipe, which was perfect for a single layer of yellow cake. It reminded me of boston cream pie, without the custard. Rave reviews.

DO NOT LET IT SIT FOR 5 MINUTES! That is way too long. You should only let it sit for 30 seconds to a minute, otherwise it's not going to work properly.
