First Test Cake

I'm piecing together three recipes to make a cake full of chocolately goodness. The final cake will need to be made a day or two in advance of eating, so I'm trying some test cakes to make sure they hold up.

The base is a chocolate génoise that is sliced into three layers, sandwiched with chocolate-raspberry mousse, and covered with a chocolate ganache.

Now it's just a matter of letting it sit so I can see what it tastes like after a day or two. I suppose I should have a piece now so I have a frame of reference for what it tastes like after a day. All in the name of science and research, of course.

[this is good]

Good lord you are making me crave chocolate cake right now. Wow. Looks gorgeous.

It's too bad you can't somehow store the "fresh" cake so that you can compare the "fresh" and "old" cake slices side by side... And what exactly is happening to the leftovers here?

I'm glad you are using ganache, only because I really REALLY like saying it aloud. Ganache... ganache... ganache... Mmm... It rolls right out of my mouth.
