Made this tonight for my guests. I will definetly be keeping this in my recipe box! It's a little work, but totally worth it! Guests said it tasted like something you'd eat a restaurant! I'm not a huge fan of cake, and I thought it was delicious!!I didn't use the frosting/filling though. I used the "Glossy Chocolate Frosting Recipe" (Taste of Home, Light & Tasty) as the filling and icing instead. It was fabulous on this cake!

I made this for my son's birthday & he loved it. It's not to sweet & tastes like chocolate cake should taste like, moist & not to heavy & it cut very well, I was very impressed with that as well! I dusted the top with unsweetened cocoa it added a nice look & enhanced the ganache taste on top of this truffle cake.
