"I made this cake to take to a Christmas Eve party. Everyone loved it! The cake itself is super moist and flavorful. I only gave it four stars because I felt that the ganache was a little heavy, and if..." See more you're not careful it will pool around the bottom of the cake. But overall it is a crowd pleaser."

"I have made this cake twice...both time with rave reviews! The first was exactally as the recipe. This last time I used half semi-sweet and half bitter-sweet chocolate for the ganache and substituted ..." See moreKirsh for the rum. I poured 2 layers of it over the cake and then drizzled with whisps of white chocolate. Topped with a few well-drained stem-on cherries, it looks professional and tastes WAY better! Only draw back is...there are no crumbs to bring home!!"
