Ultimate chocolate cake
440 comments
"Absolutely fantastic. All my friends raved about it and said it was better than the local (very popular) cake shop and even asked if they could take some home for the next day! I took the advice of one of the reviewers and mixed milk chocolate and dark for the ganache. I did cut it into 3 (unfortunately the top had cracked quite a bit in cooking and the sections fell apart when I cut the second layer). When I poured all the ganache over it though it "cemented" it all together anyway and it looked beautiful and didn't come apart when cutting. I didn't fancy messing with the curls so I just broke up another bar of chocolate into small chunks and put them on the top! I will never use another chocolate cake recipe - this was the best ever!!!"
