It will be my best friend's birthday on this coming Sunday so I made this gluten free chocolate ganache cake for him. It is a 2-layer chocolate cake covered and filled with chocolate ganache. The cake is based on a recipe from Ina Garten. I made several changes to adapt it to be gluten free and more moisture. Of course, the secret ingredient, brewed coffee, definitely makes this cake even more chocolaty! There was a big flood caused by record rain here in Milwaukee last Thursday night. You can click the link to see some slide show of the flood. It flooded most of the main streets, highway, houses and created a big sinkhole in the middle of the road with a car falling in it. My basement got flooded as well and the cleaning and drying work are still on going. It is really tiresome to go through this again. Aw, well, forget about it and let's go eat some cakes instead!

Wow, your cake looks awesome!! And it's gluten free. Where do you normally get your recipes at? Too bad your house got flooded. It is a frustrating feeling! Hopefully, there's no mold brewing.
Thanks! My basement has dried and so far no mold! :)
I'm so sorry to hear that your basement got flooded. We don't really have that kind of a problem here in the desert. Then again, we don't even have a basement.
Your cake looks amazing. When is your bakery open for business and when can we start ordering online? LOL
Thanks for the compliment about the cake, Jim! You are too kind. My basement has dried out now. It is too much work to have a bakery so I will just make the cake for fun. :)
Hope you are all dried out by now! Too much water sucks!
And I agree, that cake looks AMAZING!
Hi John, your Chocolate Ganache Cake look tempting! I', sure it made your best friend's day! How about sharing the recipe?
So sorry to hear about the incident and I'm sure by now your basement is spick and span!
