You can use any chocolate cake recipe (or chocolate sponge cake) you like. For this I used a chocolate génoise.

Hi Eve,
Thanks for the suggestion! I think that is a great idea for me to try a different recipe and then go back to the original!

Second, maybe go on epicurious or foodgawker (or tartlette she always has lovely looking cakes) on one of your days off and just for fun try out another genoise recipe? Maybe this one just isn't "for" you and if you can conquer another maybe it'll give you the confidence to fix or master your current one. I know that I've come across recipes that just didn't work for me. I would try and fail again and again and just get ridiculously frustrated and defeated only to try a different one, succeed, and go back to the old one.

At least you conquered the meringue! 😀

Best of luck. 🙂

xoxo

Folding is awful! But I've started counting while I fold so that I keep track of how many folds I'm making, thus avoiding getting lost in mixing/deflation! Haha! I think it's working!

I still love it... I think the name has something to do with it. But I sure do admire your perseverance! I think I'd be pretty hopeless at genoise - I can't even get the folding/mixing right in a muffin recipe after all these years!

Next will be the génoise. You can do it! And that cake up there? That looks pretty darn delicious....
