Fudge Cake with Chocolate Ganache...12 weeks of Christmas

I love ganache. I love chocolate cake. The two together make a perfect dessert for the holidays...actually anytime!

This is very rich and some people might want a small slice...SOME people...not me. I can handle it!

 The cake is moist and oh so chocolaty. The ganache thick and creamy.

 Every bite a treat.
