I haven't cut a slice yet, but I think my husband wants to try it this morning.

The one I made last year was covered in Chocolate Cream Cheese frosting and that was good too! I did a rewind this week: Choc Genoise with regular Ganache (no PB) and I made it gluten free by subbing corn starch for the flour. Everybody at work loved it.
