I'm going to make this for a special occasion next week.<br><br>
I think I'll put some rasberry jam between the layers too.

I made this last night and it was delicious!<br><br>
I just baked it in one pan. The oven bakes unevenly so it was a bit of a lava cake. I used instant coffee granules and water instead of espresso and it was fine. It's all I had on hand that was strong enough.<br><br>
I made a cream cheese icing but didn't do the rasberry jelly like I planned.<br><br>
Thanks, Witchy!

It tasted even better after sitting in the fridge overnight.

I hope it went well for him! Tell him "hello" for me.
Ganache scares me! It always gets too hard and heavy for me even if I follow a recipe.<br><br><b><i>Ganache is my nemesis!</i></b>
