MOIST CHOCOLATE CAKE WITH GANACHE FROSTING

What could possibly be a sexier dessert for Valentines Day then a moist slice of Chocolate Cake with rich ganache frosting?  When I think of a dessert for my love on Valentines Day this is it!

It also happens to be a highly requested Birthday Cake in our house.

This cake is guaranteed to leave the one you love swooning and asking for more. Once you make this cake I promise you will never buy or look at another box cake mix the same.

It is wonderfully moist with a lovely rich chocolate flavor and easy to make. The ganache is best made with a chocolate you would eat plain, whether you prefer a dark chocolate or semi sweet.
