More on the cake

The cake was adapted from one of the "Death By Chocolate" cakes (google the books -- they are great!): it is a moist, dense-yet-light dark chocolate cake, which pairs equally well with a fluffy chocolate mousse and with a sinful ganache (which we used to coat the cake). The crumb is extremely tender, but the individual layers themselves have great structural integrity. It is only when they are stacked up that they start to slide. If I had thought about it I would have put bamboo skewers through before placing the constructed cake in the fridge to set up: it probably would have worked much better.


Yours, learning, even if it wasn't from a mistake:-)
