3. Make the Ganache:
- Heat cream in a saucepan until just before boiling. Remove from heat.
- Pour hot cream over chopped chocolate. Let sit for 1 minute.
- Stir until smooth, then add butter and mix until glossy. Set aside to cool slightly before pouring.
4. Assemble the Cake:
- Place one cake layer on a serving plate. Spread mocha cream evenly on top.
- Repeat with remaining layers and cream. Spread remaining cream on the sides and top.
- Pour ganache over the top, allowing it to drip naturally over the sides.
- Decorate with cookies, sprinkles, or chocolate toppings as desired.
5. Chill and Serve:
- Refrigerate the cake for at least 1 hour before slicing. This helps set the cream and enhances the flavor.
