RICH CHOCOLATE CAKE WITH GANACHE FROSTING AND TRUFFLE-EGG NEST
Tucked inside nests of milk-chocolate shavings are truffle eggs tinted robin's egg blue and dusted with metallic luster. The accompanying marbled eggs are created by dipping more truffles into melted white chocolate swirled with blue food coloring.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Coat two 3-inch-high, 7-inch-round cake pans with cooking spray; line bottoms with parchment paper. Coat parchment with cooking spray, and dust with cocoa powder, tapping out excess.
- Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add cocoa and espresso powders and water; whisk until dissolved. Whisk in sugar until smooth. Remove from heat, and whisk in eggs, buttermilk, and vanilla. Add flour, baking soda, and salt; whisk until combined.
- Divide batter among prepared pans. Bake until a cake tester inserted into centers comes out clean, about 45 minutes. Let cool 20 minutes. Unmold, and remove parchment; let cool.
- Trim tops of cake layers level. Place 1 layer, cut side up, on a wire rack set over a rimmed baking sheet. Spread with 1/2 cup ganache frosting. Place remaining layer, cut side down, on top. Coat top and sides with remaining cup frosting. Refrigerate until firm, about 15 minutes.
- Put semisweet chocolate, cream, and corn syrup into a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water, and stir until smooth. Let cool 5 minutes. Pour over cake, and then refrigerate until firm, about 15 minutes.
- Using a chef's knife, scrape milk chocolate bar at a 90-degree angle, forming enough curls and shards to measure 1 1/2 cups. Transfer to a rimmed baking sheet, and refrigerate until ready to use.
- Transfer cake to serving dish; form a nest with chocolate shavings on top, and fill with truffle eggs.

Steps:
- For the pink prosecco cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease two 10-inch round cake pans with nonstick baking spray and line with parchment paper.
- Whisk the flour, baking powder and salt in a large bowl.
- Combine the butter and sugar in a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment until light and fluffy, at least 5 minutes. (Don't skip this step!)
- Add the eggs, one at a time, waiting until each one is completely combined before adding the next. Stir in the vanilla, red food coloring, milk, prosecco and raspberry liqueur. Stir in the flour mixture with a wooden spoon until just combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pans. Bake until golden and the cake slightly pulls away from the sides, 30 to 35 minutes. Cool the cakes in their pans for 10 minutes, then flip them onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- For the chocolate truffle frosting: While the cakes bake, heat the heavy cream in a medium saucepan until bubbles begin to form. Remove the saucepan from the heat and whisk in the chocolate chips and salt until the chocolate melts and the mixture is smooth. Let cool to room temperature.
- To assemble the cake: Place one cake layer on a serving dish or cake stand. Spread the raspberry jam on top of the cake. Put a generous spoonful of the chocolate frosting on top and spread it to the edges. Put the cake in the refrigerator to set. Once set, add the second cake layer and finish frosting the sides and top of the cake with the remaining chocolate frosting. Decorate as desired.

CHOCOLATE TRUFFLE FROSTING
Luscious chocolate truffle frosting for chocolate cakes. Dust the frosted cake with cocoa powder for a beautiful, velvety finish. Makes enough to cover a 8-10 cm high cake baked in a 22 cm round cake tin, so if you're making a big cake, you might want to make a double batch.
