Double Chocolate Cake

I made this cake for a friend yesterday.
 I use dark cocoa powder to make this extra chocolately.

 I also brush each layer with simple syrup.

 And then a thin layer of raspberry jam to add depth of flavor.

 It's all topped off with a ganache frosting.

 I'm making another one for girl's night tomorrow at my house.  I hate chocolate but all of my girlfriends live for it.  You can find the recipe here:  http://octoberfarm.blogspot.com/2012/11/the-best-double-chocolate-cake.html

I like chocolate but that would be TOO chocolatey for me, I know.

Isn't it funny . . . I am not a big chocolate lover either, except when it's cake. I love chocolate cake! You can have the candy bars and boxes of chocolate, just give me cake. This one looks and sounds amazing :)

I like your idea of brushing the layers with simple syrup to help keep them moist. Yum. You can't get too much of a good thing!

No point making a simple chocolate cake. It should always be double or nothing.

This chocolate cake reminds me of Practical Magic! Pick up "The Rules of Magic" if you haven't had a chance. It's a prequel to the Practical Magic book- many chocolate cakes made in the story!

Wow, very nice and delicious cake recipe. It seems like you're a cook freak person. I really like your passion and efforts. However, the photos you have shared are very mouthwatering. It is obvious that the photographer captured the photos perfectly. However, I’m working with different photo retouching services. Thanks for sharing. Keep going. photoretouching
