Cake Decorating Community - Cakes We Bake

I just watched the video on the ganache-covered genoise cake and looked up a recipe for that kind of cake.  It looks fairly easy to do, but the cake in the video looked really dry.  Does anyone make this kind of cake on a regular basis?  Is it really dry?  Does it need a "soaking" element? (she used simple syrup mixed with Frangelico in the video).  I'd like to try it, but not sure if I want to waste the ingredients if it's not tasty. :)

 

Any feedback appreciated!

Genoise is a dry cake. It definitely needs some sort of "soaking element". I've been wanting to try one myself. It's usually made with a pastry cream filling with fresh sliced strawberries between the layers, frost with Swiss Meringue buttercream. We made it at a pastry class I took. The chef/instructor emphasized the need for brushing someting on the layers to moisten. It was delicious. I can post the recipe if you want.

By the way, if you see something in the wrong forum just ask me, Sherry or Terri to move it for you.
I'm so excited about this cake that I did an internet search and found this video. I'm a beginner and the visual the better for me.

The link is below (I copied/paste it) ~ I don't know how to upload it as a video but if someone else does, go for it. Any way, I'm not too sure if anyone else would enjoy this video. I'm a beginner so I enjoy all videos!

If this link does not take you to the video itself, copy/paste onto your browser.

I'm doing this for sure!

I was able to send the link to myself through an email at the video. So if the link I did previously didn't work, oops. Try this!
