Double Chocolate Layer Cake


I made this cake for my sister and my birthday. My sister is pretty picky about chocolate cakes and this cake hit the spot. It was extremely moist and the frosting is by far the best I've had. The only thing is the cake is only as good as the quality of chocolate you use. I used Scharffen Berger chocolate in the batter and Scharffen Berger and Ghirardelli Chocolate for the frosting (it was just too expensive for me to use all Schaffen Berger).


I made white chocolate mousse to put in between the layers but I didn't make it early enough to allow the mousse to harden up. I had to scrap it all off but as you can see, I couldn't get it all off.

You can find the recipe here.
