Well, I made the cake this morning to take to a friend's for dinner. The cake itself probably needs some adjustments for the altitude. While it tastes great and is moist, it is crumbly. I know because I had to abandon one layer (and i tasted it) because it crumbled as it came out of the pan. It is probably the ugliest cake I have made since eighth grade, but it tastes great. The salty caramel is fabulous as is the ganache so while it will look like a Jr. Hi Home Ec project, it will taste great. Next time I will use a tried and true chocolate cake recipe and use the caramel and ganache. Again, thanks for posting this. ilene

Ilene, We had totally different results. Mine was not crumbly at all and it held it's shape really well even when cut into thin slices. The last chocolate cake I made was really crumbly, so I was a little nervous about this one. Isn't if funny how results will vary with the same recipe.

The flour was King Arthur AP. I noticed when I was dividing it into the 8 inch pans called for that I had more batter than I should have (I should have switched to 9 inch but I was too lazy to repaper, butter and flour). As the layers baked, the outsides rose and clung to the rims causing the centers to eventually collapse. The layers were moist, but didn't hold together and I used the carmel as a glue. I live at 5,280 feet and usually don't adjust cakes for altitude. Next time I do it, I will use 9 inch pans and see if that helps. it looked awful, but tasted wonderful.

Todd The new Saveur cover recipe is for a Chocolate Caramel Tart which features a salty caramel filling and salt garnish. Looks like the cake recipe because it mixes xhoxolate and salty caramel. The recipe is on their website at www.saveur.comilene

Just reporting that I made the salty caramel tart from Saveur yesterday....it was great. I think I like the cake better, but my guests (who tasted the cake also) liked the tart better. ilene
