Tuxedo Cake
"Oh my goodness, but this cake is delicious. This tall and elegant moist chocolate cake is filled and frosted with freshly whipped cream, and partially glazed with chocolate ganache. This is the cake everyone asks for on birthdays and any special occasion. Whipped cream usually begins to separate shortly after it has been beaten. The secret to this frosting and its stability is the powdered sugar. Powdered sugar has added cornstarch which stabilizes the cream...."
