Three tiers of dark chocolate cake sandwiched in between sweetened whipped cream. Then chocolate ganache drizzeled over the top.
This was the tallest damn cake I have ever made. I did not even use all the batter because my three cake pans were full. In fact after baking I had to shave some off the top to even it out. If I made it again, I would make half the batter and still do three layers.
This picture gives you some perspective of size.
Thanks to Dana for grabbing the camera as I was slicing because the inside is as gorgeous as the outside.

Beautiful!!!
I agree with you though, half the amount of cake for the next time. My favorite part of any cake is always the frosting.
How is it you can make a cake three feet tall by my attempt at shortbread recently resulted in cracker crumbs?
you are a cake making goddess!!!!
i wish you could pack up a slice and send it to NJ. i've been hankering for a big slice of chocolate cake.
sounds like the party was a success!!
did i tell you i loved the CD? i listened to it almost every day while i was in the hospital
fmm: I would normally agree, but this cake was really good. Beats the hell out of a box cake anyday.
dana: hee hee - it did look 3 foot tall did't it? don't worry I can't make shortbread either
nejyerf: if I could figure out how - I would. I am glad you enjoyed the music and the party was a success. Wish you could have been there.
Your cake is truly impressive! Just beautiful, professional and delicious looking.
