Then, prepare the chocolate ganache and let it come to room temperature before assembling the cake. Cut each cake horizontally into two even cake layers and fill the cake with raspberry filling alternating with the chocolate ganache in the middle.
Prepare the whipped chocolate ganache and spread it on top and sides of the cake. Refrigerate to set. Decorate the cake with fresh raspberries and chocolate shards.

How would the ingredients have to be scaled, if I used just one 26cm pan (instead of two 20cm)? Should I leave the same amounts or scale it by half (everything x1,5)?
Thanks
