Pour into pans. Bake 35-40 mins, until tester comes out clean.
While baking, make ganache, caramel and whipped cream.
Cool cakes in pans for 10 mins, then unmold onto racks to finish cooling.
CARAMEL-cook sugar, corn syrup and butter over low heat until 242*. Remove from heat and add cream and vanilla.Cool. Will thicken as it cools.
GANACHE-Melt butter, chocolate chips and cream over low heat.Whisk in almond extract. Cool.
WHIPPED CREAM- Whisk cream until it just begins to thicken, then add pudding powder. whisk until ready.Refrigerate.
PECANS- put butter on a cookie sheet& melt in oven (can toast pecans while baking cake)- when butter is melted, toss pecans in pan until coated. bake @ 350 until toasty smelling (~10 mins- watch carefully, they burn easily!)Salt to taste.
When everything is cool, assemle the cake:.
Place first layer on cake plate. Plop 1/3 of the whipped cream onto cake. Drizzle caramel and chocolate over cream. Repeat for next 2 layers, but be a little "artistic" with the top layer-oozing the caramel and chocolate over the sides of the cake. Sprinkle liberally with pecans!

CHOCOLATE NIRVANA CAKE RECIPE - (4/5)

Chocolate Nirvana Cake Recipe - (4/5) image

Provided by á-47609

Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

8 squares semi sweet baking chocolate
1 cup sugar
2 sticks butter
4 eggs (or equivalent egg substitute)
1 thin Ghiardelli choc bar
Drop almond extract (or vanilla)

Steps:

Melt butter and chocolate in a sauce pan. Add the eggs, sugar and extract. Mix w/ beater. Pour into spring form pan sprayed with pam with a cookie sheet under it. Bake at 300 F for 45 mins. Cool and refrigerate a few hours or overnight. Still in question on best time to remove from pan. In the end, I refrigerated it and then removed but it stuck to the bottom like a cheese cake. Melt the candy bar and spread over just the top of cake. Refrigerate until hardens. Serve with fresh whipped cream or raspberry glaze

Tips:

Mise en place: Before you start baking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you stay organized and avoid any mishaps.
Use high-quality chocolate: The quality of the chocolate you use will have a big impact on the flavor of your cake. Look for chocolate with a high cocoa content (at least 70%) and avoid chocolate that contains vegetable oils or other additives.
Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can make your cake tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
Bake the cake in a water bath: Baking the cake in a water bath helps to create a moist and evenly baked cake. Place the cake pan in a larger pan filled with hot water and bake according to the recipe instructions.
Let the cake cool completely before frosting: This will help the frosting to set properly and prevent it from becoming runny.

Conclusion:

The Chocolate Nirvana Cake is a decadent and delicious cake that is perfect for any special occasion. With its rich chocolate flavor, creamy frosting, and moist texture, this cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a special dessert, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
