The cake has three layers, the bottom is a brownie, the middle is a chocolate chip cookie, and the top is vanilla cake. There's white chocolate frosting between the layers, chocolate frosting on the outside, and chocolate ganache on top.]

The full cake pre-slicing. Easier to do a "rustic" frosting and say it's a deliberate effect rather than attempt and fail at a smooth finish! ๐Ÿ˜…

It was kept in the fridge before serving, does anyone know if a way to keep the ganache from going matte? Or is that just an inevitable consequence of the cold?

I wish I had an answer for you, but I hate working with chocolate. So messy. But that looks tasty.

Hi, do you have a recipe of that? Would be really interested in recreating this. Thanks!
