This is not “a” cake, this is “the” cake. From top to bottom, every single layer is intentional - each layer serves its own purpose, while working in harmony with the others to create edible fabulousness. We’ve got chocolate and vanilla buttercreams, devil’s food cake, ganache, cocoa nibs, toasted pecans, salted caramel ganache and chocolate chip blondies - I mean, all I can say is “yes.” Not to mention, the cake is absolutely gorgeous to look at. Stacked to the sky with chocolate and golden hues, it’s truly an unforgettable centerpiece for any table. Sitting pretty at six inches in diameter, the cake feeds 12-18 people (or keep it all for yourself - that’s okay, too).

The colossal dessert is a construction of her chocolate chip blondies, layered with salted caramel ganache, devil’s food cake, vanilla butter cream with fat pecans, and cocoa nibs thrown in. It’s breathtaking, with varying bites of contrasting creaminess and crunch—and of course, plenty of chocolate. - Kate Krader for Bloomberg
