Dark Chocolate Layer Cake With Cream Cheese Frosting

(90)
"Naked dark chocolate cake with cream cheese. Yup, this chocolate cake is to die for! Perfect in every way, moist and delicious chocolate cake with super creamy bittersweet ganache. One of those cakes that gets better with every bite, because it's not too sweet and the combination of chocolate and cream cheese is just ridiculously good. Just in time for Valentine's day"
