I must say that I was transfixed by the photos when I read the post about the Chocolate Crepe Cake on Foodaholic. It is a dreamboat of a cake, and a very uncommon type, too. From the outside, it looks like an ordinary cake, but every slice is a wonder as the cake is composed of a stack of about 20 crepes, all layered generously with a rich chocolate and espresso filling/glaze. The white topping is actually cream that is poured over the finished cake, swirling together with the chocolate glaze. It looks amazing both whole and once it has been sliced, since you can see all the thin layers that make it up then.

The recipe was from Delicious Magazine, but it can be found in the post, as well. It was featured on the cover, but Foodaholic's photo looks at least as good, if not a bit better. If the combination of chocolate and espresso isn't your favorite, you can try Martha Stewart's darkest chocolate crepe cake, instead. Either way, jaws will drop if you serve a cake like this one.
