Chocolate Pound Cake with Chocolate Ganache #cake #desserts

I discovered some brilliant plans and chose to take what I like from all of them. Thus, in an extremely brief time, I was taking out a wonderful chocolate cake from a hot stove, and chose to top everything with clammy chocolate ganache. While everything chilled, I remove a piece. MMMM, similarly as I thought! A lovely taste of chocolate cake, which was sodden in spots and helped me to remember brownies, which I love!

Chocolate Pound Cake with Chocolate Ganache is chocolate darlings dream: rich chocolate cake + thick layer of velvety and smooth chocolate ganache!
