This was a very nice cake. It was three layers of chocolate genoise (a French "sponge" cake...although sponge in the sense that it is dry and porous, not like an American sponge cake) sandwiched together with whipped chocolate ganache. This is assembled in a cake ring and then chilled so that the ganache sets up. After it's unmolded, we poured chocolate glaze over it. Yum! We were supposed to decorate it with sugared rose petals and chocolate curls, but we ran late and couldn't. So when I got it home I decorated it with chocolate covered cocoa nibs. It was very pretty and quite delicious.
Wow, this looks great.
