I'm going to try this recipe again, but I'm going to make some changes. I'll use a different type of ganache and I'll bake the cake for a shorter amount of time.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my cake didn't turn out well. It was too dense and didn't have a lot of flavor.

I think this cake would be better with a different type of ganache. Maybe a chocolate ganache or a salted caramel ganache.

I'm not sure about the rosemary ganache. It's a bit too overpowering for my taste.

I'm not a huge fan of chocolate cake, but this one is an exception. It's so rich and decadent, but not too sweet.

This flourless chocolate cake with rosemary ganache is a delightful treat! The combination of rich chocolate and aromatic rosemary is simply divine. The cake is moist and dense, with a perfect balance of sweetness and bitterness. The ganache is smoot
