I am really proud of this cake. So proud, I actually took a picture of it. Crazy, I know. When something I make turns out this good, I feel like I have to show it off a bit because it doesn't happen everyday! I found this recipe that uses chocolate ganache for the glaze. Ever since I saw Emeril making ganache on the food network, I had always wanted to try it. So when I saw this recipe using ganache, I gave it a whirl. Ganache is actually heavy cream and chocolate melted together and dries to shiny glaze that looks as good as it tastes. Needless to say, it was a hit with the family. Dessert ruled tonight and mom rocks! I love it when I can make everyone happy with good ol' chocolate. So here's my Martha Stewart moment. I'll savor it while I can...okay that's enough. I think I'll go have myself a second piece...
