About
Holy moly geez o pete, if you’re a chocolate lover this cake is definitely for you. Even if you’re not a chocolate lover THIS CAKE IS FOR YOU. I know this may sound crazy, but I am really not a fan of chocolate but let me tell you what, this is one cake that I can bury my face in and eat til its gone. I actually got this recipe from Bailey’s Prime Plus for the short time I was a pastry chef there. The cake is so moist and decadent, every bite is a mouthful of heaven. I definitely think the secret is the coffee, it really brings out the richness of the cocoa and paired with the silky chocolate mousse nestled in between the cake layers…honestly, what could be better? I also added a ganache topping and spiked it with brandy because I am firm believer that liqours and dessert should always go together, it just kicks it up a notch. :)
