Chocolate Demise

i made this cake for dan's birthday. it was delicious! the picture doesn't do it justice. it was like eating a truffle in the form of a cake. it is a layer of flourless chocolate cake, a layer of ganache, a pecan tuile, a layer of ganache, a pecan tuile, a layer of ganache, a pecan tuile, a layer of ganache, a pecan tuile, a layer of ganache, a layer of flourless chocolate cake, topped off by a final layer of ganache. the cake is then decorated with rolled pecan tuiles. talk about super rich! i got the recipe from Death by Chocolate : The Last Word on a Consuming Passionby Marcel Desaulniers. i'm not going to bother putting the recipe here because it is long and complex and i'm assuming most of you won't want to attempt to make it. if you do want to make it i'd suggest buying the book.
