WOW!!! This cake was so easy to put together and so luscious. I followed Ina's recipe exactly except I made the Tate's Bake Shop cookies. You can get the recipe if you Google - Tate's bake shop chocolate chip cookie recipe. I have purchased these cookies before and was not impressed with them especially considering the price. They were $5.49 per package, and this recipe calls for 3 packs. The homemade ones were very easy to make, and had a much better flavor, maybe because they were fresher. This recipe calls for an 8" springform pan, it will probably work just fine in a 9" if that's what you have. I can remember thinking that it didn't seem like I would be able to get all five layers in the 8" pan, but I lost count so I don't know if I did or not (ya gotta love the golden years). Four layers or five, this cake is certainly one that will be repeated often at our house. Also, the tip Ina gives about heating your block of chocolate in the microwave will allow you to make great curls for the garnish. Now get baking and you'll be sure to get raves about this cake from family and friends.
This picture looks like a party going on----Oh YUM! I got to sample this heavenly dessert & it was out-of-this world. I loved the chocolate chip cookies too--the chocolate chips were ultra delicious!
