Cake Filling

[langara]

Hi, My son has been trying to make a chocolate cake filling out of the John Slattery cookbook, so far no success, the recipe says to boil double cream, add glucose, poor over chocolate beat, and store in fridge overnight, take out next morrning, beat thoroughly and it should look light and fluffy, unfortunately he can't get it to look light and fluffy. Any advice would be appreciated.

Sounds like a chocolate ganache he is trying to make, i dont use glucose, just half double to half melted chocolate, blend well, dont boil cream just bring to the boil, cool well and put in the fridge till a spreadable consistency!!!!

Sounds complicated. Would a simple chocolate butter cream do? Icing sugar mixed with butter and cocoa powder. Always tastes lovely in my devil's food cake.

Sorry meant to say double cream or as the americans say heavy cream!!!!!
