I made a Genoise cake for Daddy's birthday. One layer was plain and the other was chocolate. In the middle was a layer of chocolate ganache. The icing was a rich chocolate buttercream. It was the first time I made this recipe (which was a combination of 5 recipes) and it took most of the afternoon. There was a lot of work with the double boiler and A WHOLE BUNCH of chocolate, butter, and heavy cream involved. Daddy loved it and is still eating it. He said it was even better the second day after it was refrigerated. I used recipes out of the WILLIAM SONOMA BAKING BOOK for this cake. I had a few bloopers, but the result was delicious. ~Laura

Yum! You've got to come and make me one before my computer malfunctions from the pool of drool.
