This was for a recent order for my friend's sister's son birthday. This is one of my favorite cakes. I pleaded for a small bite and I was lucky to get one.. haha.
This Death by Chocolate Cake is initially made with dark chocolate ganache, but knowing kids' dislike of dark chocolate, I've opted for a milk chocolate ganache instead. I used Nick Malgieri's recipe for both the cake and frosting and I can understand why he says it's one of his favorites. This is a cake meant to be savored in small bites and self professed, die-hard chocoholics like myself will enjoy it as much as I do.
