  26. Goo-Goo Cake Assembly
  27. When assembling the cake, it’s best to use a springform pan. place a layer of chocolate cake in the bottom of the pan, and then top with a layer of chocolate mousse. repeat this procedure three times, so you have three layers of cake and three layers of chocolate mousse. On top of the top layer of mousse place a layer of brownie, which will actually sit above the rim of the pan.
  28. After completing the layering, wrap the entire cake good and tight in plastic wrap and place in the freezer until completely frozen. (times will vary depending on freezer)
  29. Once frozen, pull out and unwrap, then cover with a thin layer of ganache, making certain that the surfaces are smooth as possible with good coverage.
  30. Warm the remaing ganache (do not exceed 100 degrees- too hot and it won’t stick). pour ganache thoroughly over top and sides of cake coating well.
  31. Place back in freezer to set up for 5 to 10 minutes.
  32. Mark slices (typically 10 to 12) and garnish each with a ganache rosette.
  33. Garnish a 2-inch border around the bottom with chocolate sprinkles or shavings.
  34. Cut goo-goo cluster candies in half and place as an additional garnish to each marked slice, using ganache rosette to hold it in place.
