pentecost-chocolate-espresso cake

Cake!  I love cake.  This is what I made last weekend:
a dense not-ridiculously-sweet chocolate cake with ganache (made with milk rather than cream) between layers, then iced with espresso-chocolate buttercream.  I made the espresso in my little metal stove-top espresso maker that I found at Salvation Army [Emily, like yours only bigger!].  It all turned out quite good, I think, and I would make it again.  Next time some sort of hazelnut-something should be included.  It's called Pentecost Cake because I was told the day on which we ate it was Pentecost.  That's about all I have to say about it.  And that I would eat more of it right now...
