Chocolate Decadent Cake

This yummy creation is a holiday party favorite at our house. My friend gave me this recipe a while back. It never disappoints. It is best served with a touch of vanilla ice cream or whip cream.   See below for the recipe.  Enjoy!




Pour the chocolate ganache over the cake after the cake cools for about 10- 15 minutes.
Serve slightly warm or cool. It tastes yummy no matter what!

Sifting powder sugar on top makes it complete to serve
