This special cake was for my cousin Leanne's birthday! I was inspired to do this cake from a picture I saw in a magazine. The first step in making this cake was to make the chocolate squares that surround the outside of the cake, which can get a little tricky. I melted milk chocolate and white chocolate in a double broiler until it was completely melted and smooth. Then I spread it onto a cookie sheet covered with parchment paper. I spread it just thin enough that it would still be able to cut once solid. So then I set the chocolate in the fridge to harden. Once hardened I then cut the squares with a knife. But the trick is to dip your knife in hot water before cutting to help the chocolate from breaking.
Then the rest of the cake was three layers of chocolate cake with chocolate chips in it. I used a fudge pudding filling for one layer, and then a hazelnut buttercream for the next layer of filling. Then I topped it with alternating hazelnut and vanilla buttercream. YUMMY!!
