Questions about Chocolate gateau
How should you store chocolate gateau?
Keep gateau with cream or a perishable filling covered in the fridge, and eat it within a few days. Let a slice stand at room temperature for about 20–30 minutes before serving so the sponge and filling soften.
Can you freeze chocolate gateau?
Yes. Freeze individual slices, wrapped tightly, for up to about 3 months; thaw them overnight in the fridge, still wrapped, to limit condensation. Gateau decorated with fresh fruit is better frozen without the fruit.
How do you cut chocolate gateau neatly?
Use a long, sharp knife dipped in hot water and wiped dry between cuts. This helps it pass cleanly through chocolate icing and filling without dragging crumbs across the slice.
What goes well with chocolate gateau?
Serve it with raspberries, strawberries or a spoonful of crème fraîche to balance the richness. Coffee or unsweetened tea also pairs well.
What is the difference between chocolate gateau and chocolate cake?
Gateau usually means a more elaborate layered cake, often filled or topped with cream, ganache or icing; chocolate cake can be a simpler sponge with a topping. The names are not used consistently, so the filling and decoration are the clearest clues.
How is chocolate gateau different from chocolate fudge cake?
Chocolate fudge cake is typically dense and moist, with a rich, fudgy crumb; chocolate gateau is often made from lighter sponge layers with a filling or covering. A slice of chocolate fudge cake has 358 kcal per 100 g, compared with 295 kcal in chocolate gateau.
