I'm going to make a chocolate version of wasc and fill it with whipped ganache (does that sound good?) and for the frosting was thinking...bc dream, white chocolate bc (too much chocolate? too heavy?) or whipped cream frosting. I think the whipped cream frosting sounds best, what do you think? What do you think about the whole combo?

Somebody? Anybody? I've never made a chocolate cake and don't know what I'm doing. I could really use some help.

I think whipped cream frosting sounds better than bc for this cake-just a little lighter. My .02 worth, maybe you'll get a few more opinions...

I don't think you can EVER have to much chocolate but I do love whipped cream on chocolate cake also.

I make a scratch chocolate cake and have done it several ways, people really like it with buttercream and then ganache poured over top. The also really like it with whipped icing. The ganache cake is VERY rich, and the whipped icing one is not so sweet, so i guess it just depends on taste.

This is a pretty dense cake. I think the whipped frosting and a mousse filling would be good. I made the WASC cake once with a raspberry mouse and the regular butter cream. A light frosting and mouse like filling would be yummy, yummy. Either way, everyone loves this cake, so no matter what you put with it, it will be great.

Yes, whipped cream is better. I make chocolate cakes with whipped cream frosting. They come out delicious.

The whipped cream frosting is wonderful but requires refrigeration, so your whipped ganache will be chilled which will make it a bit firmer.

I've not made the w/c buttercream yet - but I don't think it would be too rich. (Heck, I don't think a ganache frosted and filled chocolate cake is too rich!)

FYI, you can also make a white chocolate version of the WASC:

this is a very delicious and simple whipped cream and cream cheese frosting. are you going to do whipped milk chocolate or dark chocolate ganache? personally i like when the ganache cakes are chilled, it stays stable and is like eating a truffle. yum!

I love whipped ganache as a filling and a icing..YUMMO
