Critical Success Points

  • Divide the batter and correctly flavor the two parts
  • Gently fold in the whipped whites to retain lightness
  • Bake the double biscuit in a single batch to avoid mixing the two batters
  • Cool the ganache to the right consistency before assembly
  • Layer the components in the correct order (vanilla‑ganache‑cocoa‑ganache‑vanilla)
  • Trim the cake neatly to reveal the layers

Safety Warnings

  • Be careful with very hot liquids (milk‑butter and cream) – wear kitchen gloves.
  • Use the oven with gloves to avoid burns.
  • Handle the knife carefully when trimming the cake.
