    I made this cake for father's day. Everyone loved it. I made a white chocolate frosting. It was fantastic.

    This cake is pretty fantastic... As the ingredients would suggest it's very rich and has lots of chocolate flavor. I substituted dark rum (Meyers' for the Grand Marnier ($40 a fifth, count me out. Also, instead of the White chocolate sauce, I just melted a bag of Ghirardelli white chocolate chips and layered evenly over the top of the whole cake, allowing it to drip down the sides, which made for a nice presentation. This cake is also killer with a raspberry coulis instead of the mint.

    A couple of comments however. This recipe doesn't really belong in the "easy" category; IMHO whipping egg whites and yolks to the requested consistencies are more advanced techniques... Also, this cake WILL fall when it cools, and will fall more in the center. This is why I decided to give it the white chocolate coating, which made it more presentable.
