Elegant Chocolate Torte

When I want to serve a really special dessert, I turn to this recipe. The tender, four-layer chocolate cake has a yummy pudding-like filling. Instead of the whipped cream frosting, you could use chocolate-flavored whipped topping. —Lois Gallup Edwards, Citrus Heights, California

Geez...I wish I had a piece of that cake right now, it looks wonderful. Might have to bake this up for DD's birthday!

How do you make the chocolate curls on top of this elegant chocolate cake??

it's so good! i share a birthday party with my mother and sister so we usually have more than one cake. everyone at the party loved it. i modified it a bit by only using the two cakes instead of cutting them both in half because i was worried i would masacre them. it still came out great.

Hi skfptl,

You wanted to know how to make chocolate curls on top of a cake?  All you do is get a chocolate bar and use a vegetable peeler and draw against the edge.  With practice you can do really long pretty curls.  Good luck!  :)  DLB213@comcast.net

Because of the whipped cream topping, does this have to be refrigerated or eaten immediately?
