I made a chocolate cake filled with fresh strawberries. The combination of ganache and strawberry melts soft in your mouth so delicious and beautifully colored. I baked the tart a bit larger than the hard ganache and put it in the tart to make a difference, but it looks neat. I coldly hardened the remaining ganache on top of the cake and molded it with my tip, and finished it off by drawing a line on the top. I think it’s a chocolate tart with raw strawberries in it, so it feels less sweet than a chocolate-only tart.
