CREME DE COCOA TORTE
This recipe is the combination of my Aunt Eileen's cake, my friend Kris' creme filling and Southern Living's Raspberry sauce. Combined it has become an incredibly decadent dessert. I make it for DH's b-day and other very special occasions. It's alot of effort but well worth it!
