Laced with semisweet chocolate chips, this luscious cake is topped with ganache, a rich smooth mixture of melted chocolate and cream. A sprinkling of toasted almonds adds the finishing touch. The cake will keep at room temperature for up to 4 days, store under a covered cake dome. The "Mary Ann Pan" was first introduced in the United States in 1921. The "Mary Ann's Cake Shell Pans" were designed to bake light cake shells to hold everything from fresh fruit to rich custards. Said pan produces one round cake with fluted sides and an inverted well for spooning in whipped cream, fruit curds, custard, fresh fruit or even ice cream. Willimas-Sonoma no longer carry the Mary Ann cake pans but you can find them at Amazon. com or Crate and Barrel. Williams Sonoma Kitchens, April 12, 2005 &/or Diana's Desserts.
