Directions
Chocolate Truffle Cake, If you are craving chocolate, look no further! This cake is the ultimate in decadence and takes so few ingredients It’s dense, fudge-like and the ganache is delicious I like to garnish it with some fresh raspberries This recipe comes from a cookbook called, Beyond Parsley Enjoy! Note: time does not include refrigeration , So chocolaty and fudgy! The ganache was my favorite part I had a bit of time mixing the butter in by hand so the cake did end up a bit crunchy with butter not quite mixed in I did use a 9in cheesecake pan
