陆 teaspoon salt<?xml:namespace prefix = "o" ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

Ganache:

1.听听听听听 Preheat the oven to 200掳C/180掳C fan/gas 6. Line the base of听 a loose bottom 23cm/9 inch cake tin with baking paper.

2.听听听听听 For the sponge; put both the eggs and sugar into a heatproof bowl over a pan of simmering water. Using a handheld whisk beat the eggs and sugar over the heat until thick, pale and doubled in volume-about 5-7 minutes. Remove from the heat and continue to beat on high until the mixture has cooled and triple its original volume. Whisk in the butter for a few seconds only. Sift in the remaining ingredients and very gently fold until no streaks of flour remain.
