So pictured above is the Chocolate Genoise Cake I made tonight - aka: Edible Heaven That Might Not Make It To See Tomorrow. The pictures do not do it justice. Seriously, I have been sitting here (whilst devouring my share) trying to come up with a way to describe this cake and can't come up with anything beyond "mm-mmmm" and "oh my GAWD". I try my best, but take another bite for possible inspiration and all focus goes out the window. It's a rich chocolate sponge cake (doused in an orange liqueur syrup), layered with chocolate mousse filling and fresh raspberries. YUM!! The only thing I might change is I would either add a layer of mashed raspberries to the center or top it off with a light raspberry syrup. I also saved some of the chocolate mousse filling to affix the raspberries to the top of the cake. I've included a link below to the recipe and I highly encourage everyone to make this as soon as humanly possible, or otherwise risk perishing without having been able to enjoy this epicurean delight - and trust me, that would be a huge mistake.
