So I made the cake - YUM. Definitely in the rotation. Here in UT, it's hard to get your cakes moist. Hubby said wow, I wish your German Chocolate Cake was as moist as this. I made 3/4ths a recipe of the pb filling, that was plenty for us. It looked very "wet" so before trying to spread I added more pb and sugar - ended up with firm stuff (barely spreadable) - but that ended up keeping the cake from "creeping" (though I DID use the bamboo sticks just in case). The ganache was looking a little runny too, but I decided to "trust the chef" (AKA KAF) after the pb filling situation - and it was PERFECT. If you had a spot for me to upload a photo, I would. It was great. The corn syrup was a great add to the ganache. Thanks SO much for making my daughter's day terrific!
And thanks for sharing, Alison. We're working on a new online "gathering place" for all of our bakers to post pictures, converse, ask questions, and generally hang out, virtually speaking... PJH
