Whipped ganache is good. Then there is caramel or peanut butter fillings. Fruit fillings like strawberry or raspberry preserves. Nutella works as well. icon_smile.gif

I like to use my grandmother's truffle recipe...its similar to a ganache, just easier (although forgive the metric units...its a german recipe)

125g butter (unsalted), 150g icing sugar, 100g cocoa powder, 1 egg, 1 tsp rum-extract, 2 Tbsp water, 1 pkg vanilla-sugar (or 1-2 tsp vanilla). Cream butter really well, add the egg, sift together the cocoa and icing sugar, and slowly add to butter mixture. Add the extracts and water. If you want to use as a garnish remove 16 tsp (rolled like truffles) before you add the vanilla and water and chill before putting on the cake..

This is really rich, but oh so yummy!

I put choc ganache in my last chocolate cake & no one even noticed. I was pretty disappointed since it was more work to torte the cake & make the ganache.

I just made a cake for my sister who is recovering from surgery. It was a Choc. cake and I wanted to try something different. I chopped up some reese cups and added to the buttercream. I didn't taste a piece of the cake, but I did sneak a taste of the filling when I was making it, and it wasn't bad.

I love this Bavarian filling, it is especially good in chocolate cake flavored with Kahlua but you could also make the same filling and beat in some raspberry filling. Another good combo is chocolate cake with mocha buttercream in the center.

I recently made a chocolate cake and I had some leftover ganache from something else I'd made so I whipped that and added it to some of my butter cream. It made the lightest, richest chocolate butter cream I've ever had. It was amazing, if I do say so myself.

If you liked the ganache in b/c as left-overs, you should try this recipe by Toba Garrett:

Chocolate Buttercream (with ganache).*

*Note: you can substitute chocolate syrup for the liqueur.
