This was a phenomenal recipe! A word of caution to my fellow anxious bakers: you’re going to need to stir that ganache for a lot longer than you think to get it smooth (like, several minutes), so ignore the initial thoughts of “Oh god, what have I done wrong?”

can’t seem to find the RECIPE for the chocolate truffle cake here. Just some commentary about it. Is the recipe available?

In reply to Saachi Ahluwalia. Hi Saachi! I tend to use a semi-sweet 65-70% but that is my preference. You can go slightly darker but I wouldn't do a milk chocolate as the ratio would need to be different.

Hi Olivia! I was thinking of making this cake but wanted to know what % chocolate I should go for?

In reply to Rachel. Hi Rachel! No worries at all. I would use the buttercream as a filling and a ganache to frost the outside of the cake. If you can hold out for a few days I have a delicious chocolate buttercream recipe coming this Friday!

I’ve made this cake several times and it is so delicious! My sweet goddaughter is going to turn 13 next month and she wants this cake BUT also wants chocolate buttercream frosting — in the same cake — but also the truffle frosting. I offered to make 2 different cakes but she is really wanting something extravagant that has both ahah. I wanted to ask your advice! How can I incorporate both frostings in this cake and keep it structurally sound?
