Chocolate Blackout Cake

This cake is phenomenal. There are 3 layers of dark chocolate cake, filled and topped with the most yummiest chocolate pudding and then finally topped off with cake crumbs.The pudding and the chocolate cake are pretty good on their own, however, combined together they are the best combination possible.

I remember the first time I made this cake and it seemed like the leaning tower of Pisa because I didn't cut the layers properly. However, from then with a bit more practise combined with the realization that patience is absolutely necessary when cutting a cake, I have managed to ensure that my cakes are straight.

I got the recipe for this cake from Cook's Illustrated Holiday Baking.
