Hi everyone! It’s the week back to work after the Christmas holidays… <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new year is looming, full of possibility and yet vast and unknown at the same time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I don’t know about you but to me, the idea of a blank page can be overwhelming. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So let’s ease into January, and 2015 with a slice of cake.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"an<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

This cake is not only a mixture of flavor but also of texture. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are mixing it up with real homemade praline (don’t be scared) and slathering on chocolate ganache, you know, for good measure. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is the kind of cake that looks super impressive, but is actually pretty simple to make – so get your oven gloves out, and let’s make something spectacular!<\/p>\n\n\n

\n

\"flaked<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

We begin by making caramel. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Again, this is not a scary thing, you can do it! It’s just a case of watching it closely, not stirring it once the sugar is dissolved, and taking it off the heat as soon as you reach that perfect caramel color. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then we’re going to smash it into pieces and pick out the most arty-looking little shards for decorating the top. Fancy!<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"praline<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

The rest of the praline is going to be blitzed up in a food processor and mixed in with a smooth buttercream for an extra dimension. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next to the soft chocolate sponge, this caramel crunchiness is a lovely surprise. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trust me, this cake is anything but boring!<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"buttercream<\/figure><\/div>\n\n
\n
\"half<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

And just because we’re that obnoxious, let’s pour chocolate ganache over the top. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You know, just for fun.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"an<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

Decorate as you please, and devour. Hi 2015, let’s make it a good one.<\/p>\n\n\n
