Birthdays are made for chocolate cake...




This is where my food styling/photography skills need improvement.  I've been meaning to buy/looking for the perfect vintage glass domed cake stand for some time (and have several in "my ebay") and the ice cream could have used a drizzle of something or other so it didn't look so... white... in the flash.

But the cake?  Spectacular.  It didn't need any of my prettifying.  The cake itself was moist and cocoa-y chocolate.  The frosting was pure chocolate ganache (it was a birthday after all!).  You might think the ice cream was over the top, but it was the perfect foil to the richness of the cake.  

And Jeremy made it himself.  Bliss.

So if you love chocolate as much as I do, this amazing recipe is for you.

I made this cake for a friend's birthday party after seeing your post and everyone loved it. The ganache frosting was my favorite. I loved the hint of coffee flavor. I plan on making that to top ice cream!

Thanks for sharing, Kelly
