DOUBLE SHOT ESPRESSO GANACHE CAKE
The Place is "Harry's Bar" in Venice, Italy, and my recipe is a near-perfect re-creation of their double shot Espresso and Espresso Ganache Cake. Serve generous slices on the side a bowl of whipped cream with fresh raspberries, dusted with cocoa. -Wolfgang Hanau, West Palm Bch, Florida
