Double Chocolate Cake with Black Velvet Icing

By ADMIN
Source: Gourmet via Epicurious (for the cake) and my grandmother (for the icing) Notes: The original recipe calls for making a chocolate ganache, which sounds heavenly, but I have always adored my grandmother’s chocolate glaze recipe — it’s called black velvet icing and it contains eggs, which is odd, but it’s so good — so that is the one I use. If you want to use Gourmet’s chocolate ganache, find it here. If you want to make a half recipe, see this post: Gourmet's Double Chocolate Cake, Revisited. I love these 6-inch cake pans for making half recipes of all sorts of cakes, namely this one. You need two
