I missed a classic brownie so I started to do it and I wanted it more special ...so I did a ganache cream and I put it on top. It goes without the ganache using just a simple chocolate glaze. It is sensational anyway and I do not think I will ever saturate from this cake, especially when I smell chocolate!

  7. In a saucepan put butter, sugar, water and cocoa and let it simmer until you will have a homogeneous mixture. Stir continuously with a wooden spoon!
  8. Pour glaze over cooled cake cut in pieces.
  9. Cream ganache: I put cream ganache instead of frosting!
  10. Put whipped cream in a saucepan on low heat. When is almost boiling add broken chocolate pieces and mix well with a whisk or spoon until it becomes shiny.
  11. Put in the freezer approx. 20 minutes to cool, then mix well with electric mixer until stiff and fluffy. This cream goes on top of the cake, without a cutting the cake in advance (otherwise it will dry out).
  12. It's very fluffy and delicious! You can choose either to use glaze either chocolate ganache. it is up to you!
  13. Enjoy!
