Remove from oven and let cool on a wire rack. When

completely cooled, frost with the Ganache.

Ganache: Place the chopped chocolate in a medium sizedstainless steel, or heatproof bowl. Set aside. Heat thecream and butter in a medium sized saucepan overmedium heat (can also be heated in the microwave). Bring

just to a boil. Immediately pour the boiling cream over thechocolate and allow to stand for 5 minutes. Stir untilsmooth. When Ganache has completely cooled, beat untilsoft and fluffy (I use a wire whisk). Then spread the frostingon top of the cake. Can garnish with dried banana chips.
