    Very easy cake to make, and a rich, soft, chocolatey concoction. I used a good Callebaut baking chocolate for the cake, and a Lindt 70% cacao bar in the ganache and it's a decadent production. The cake is rich, rich, rich, with six eggs a large amount of butter, not too sweet and a large cake. I can see a local restaurant charging 12-14/slice and getting away with it. Solid 4.5/5.

    Despite being in the fancy cakes chapter, composed of layers of an easy brownie-type cake and an even easier ganache "frosting", it was actually quite simple to make and was a real stunner when completed. The author mentions serving, filling or frosting the cake with whipped cream so I made a cocoa whipped cream as a third component to fill the cake and lighten the chocolate flavour a bit. The varying textures and intensities in chocolate of the components worked well together but in the end, I think this cake is only as good as the chocolate you use. I used my favourite 70% cacao chocolate in the cake and 55% in the ganache and it was a big hit. 4-1/2 stars.
