Add into greased baking molds. I am using 2 - 6 Inch molds. Flatten and tap to remove air bubbles. Bake 335F | 45 Min
Cool down 10 Min before removing from mold. Cool completely before assemble.
Let's make the pastry cream. Heat milk until small bubbles forms. Separate the egg white and yolk. We will need to yolk only. Whisk yolks and add the sugar. Whisk to combine. Sift in the flours. Whisk until clump free. Add in the warm milk in batches. Whisk until combined. Strain mixture back into the pan. Cook on low heat while whisking until thickened. Cool down completely before use.
When cake is cool and pastry cream is cooled itโs time to assemble the cake. Cut off the top.
Let's make the ganache. Add hot whipping cream to the chocolate. Let rest for 5 min then mix until combined.
Add pastry cream into a piping bag. Add the desired amount of pastry cream. Place the other cake on top. Pour ganache on top and spread it out.
