The heavy cream I use has %35 fat. You might want to check the label. Hope your friend likes it! Jasper – 2+1/4 cups of heavy cream is 515 ml or about 500 grams. The heavy cream I use has %35 fat.

I am just converting everything to grams as i am in the uk, just struggling with the cream, cant find a proper conversion chart for cups of cream to grams, anyone who can help? Also, what cream am I supposed to use? thick cream or thick double cream? If in doubt i guess I will go for double cream ;-) I can't wait to bake! J hello :-)

Genoise takes a bit of practice. There's no baking powder in the traditional genoise recipe. You incorporate air by whipping the eggs with sugar (heating them beforehand allows the bubbles in the foam to expand and the albumin in the eggs stretches into a web and holds these bubbles captive). The most important part is the folding of the rest of the ingredients. You must do it very gently to keep the bubbles you created. All this will yield a cake with a strong crumb that can hold every kind of filling. You may wish to try another recipe or just add half a teaspoon of baking powder to the above recipe to help you along. Hope you get a better result next time. Luca – Sorry to hear things went wrong.

All went alright, but the actual cake. No baking powder?! I ended up doing two cakes because the first was not thick enough to slice into 3. The second turned out worse. End of story, my wife did not get her cake. But I'm not giving up. Tomorrow I am baking a "normal" chocolate cake (Swedish recipe) and I will complete what I started today. I would appreciate a comment on the baking powder though. Thanks Luca Just tried your recipe for my wife’s birthday. All went alright, but the actual cake. No baking powder?!

I've been on the lookout for chocolate genoise recipes recently, so I had to give it a try. It turned out well, even though I used a smaller pan (8 1/2") and it is a good 2" high. The thing I love about the genoise recipes I've tried (and I'm not sure if this is the same with all genoise) is that it always rises perfectly even across the entire top. Now I have something to use up leftover black ganache! Hello Cenk,
