Chocolate Decadence Cake II image

This recipe is a big seller in my bakery. The most important thing is to use good quality chocolate - I suggest going to your local gourmet food shop and asking them for a couverture - chocolate which has a high percentage of cocoa butter as opposed to vegetable fat. It will make all the difference in the world.

This cake was a bit of a disappointment. The cake itself was dry and the ganache was too sweet. I wouldn't recommend this recipe.

This cake was a bit too rich for my taste. I think I would have preferred a lighter chocolate cake with a less dense ganache.

This cake was a disaster! The cake batter was too thin and the ganache was too thick. I ended up throwing the whole thing out.

I had some trouble getting the ganache to set properly. I think I might have added too much cream.

This cake was a little too sweet for my taste, but it was still good. I think I would reduce the amount of sugar in the cake batter next time.
