The recipe, despite everyone's comments, was easy to follow. I had a bit of trouble getting the eggs' white chocolate coating to stay neat and tidy, but other than that this was a perfect and scrumptious cake.

To clarify - the effort for the cake, frosting, and eggs was worth it, not just the effort for the eggs : ) Extra truffles were the party favors at Easter that year.

This was so good! I did make the eggs too, but didn't get around to finding luster dust so I just used food coloring. The effort was totally worth it both because of the stunning presentation and the divine flavor. Oh! My one ingredient sub was instant coffee powder, for some reason instant espresso was hard to find.

This was a great and fun cake to make, in sptie of some of the confusing directions. What a creative idea! The truffles were delcious and so was the cake!

I did not understand the directions for the genache frosting. The recipe itself says to melt the semi sweet chocolate and cream. The recipe for the cake has milk chocolate and corn syrup in it and in steps 4 and 5 it says to put the frosting on and then also to pour the chocolate on again. Am I missing something here? What is the corn syrup for and when do I put on the chocolate. I'm confused.

Hola Andrew. ppdrias imprimirme esta receta por favor. besos

I made this cake for Easter dinner. I followed the recipe as written, thought I decreased the instant espresso powder to 1 teaspoon as I was serving the cake to a family of coffee haters and I didn't want to risk them tasting a hint of coffee. I also baked it in two 8-by-2-inch round cake pans, baking it for ~35 minutes.The cake was delicious and very moist. The chocolate flavor was rich and perfect--I liked that it wasn't too sweet.

Can anyone PLEASE tell me where to find the Easter cupcake ideas sent via email earlier this month?? I receved it in daily recipe ideas and have lost it.Help !

This cake is unbelievably easy to make, and very tasty! I used grated orange zest in place of the espresso powder, and added a scant 1/2 tsp orange extract. I baked the layers in 6" pans instead (38-40 min), and used the extra batter for some mini cupcakes (10 min).
