Do you want a recipe with creme fraiche as one of the internal ingredients or as a decorating tool.

if you're having trouble locating a creme fraiche cake, try substituting it for sour cream in a sour cream cake or in place of heavy cream in biscuits.

Clarification

As an internal ingredient.... not as decoration.@

Several years ago Chocolatier magazine
provided a chocolate creme fraiche cake recipe. The filling is creme fraiche flavored with chocolate (slightly thickened with gelatin), sandwiched between sponge cake layers, and the whole thing is covered in ganache. You can make it ahead/freeze it.
If you're still looking, I'll dig out my back issues and give you the particulars?

Oh, yes, that would be great if you could post the recipe.

Thank you in advance.

Great - I'll get right on it...

Found the recipe in the November 1993
edition of Chocolatier Magazine. It's
two typed pages long, and I don't have a personal scanner. By other means, I will attempt to scan it into a form I can cut and paste into this forum. However, if there's a need, and you've no objection, I can fax it to you??

[mudbug]

Yes, I would appreciate that very much. I'll need to get a fax number to you within the next week.

thanks!
