Method

  • Combine sugar, room temperature butter, and praline in a bowl. Whisk until smooth. Add room temperature eggs and whisk.
  • Add flour and baking powder.
  • Fill the molds a little more than halfway. Add pecan pieces on top.
  • Bake in a preheated 329 | 165C oven for 30-35 minutes.
  • After baking, cool the cakes in the mold and then place them in the fridge for 2-3 hours. Cut out the cake from the side, and put the cake in the freezer for 30-40 minutes.

Ganache

  • Pour heated cream on chocolate, beat with a blender, add amaretto and butter. Cover with cling film and put in the fridge. Beat the stabilized ganache with a mixer, pour into a piping bag, and place in the cutout sides of the cakes.

Glaze
