Start assembling: Place one cake on a cake stand. Spread frosting on top. Place the other cake on top of the frosting and gently press it to secure it. Then, frost the entire cake in chocolate frosting. Use the back of a spatula to design a diagonal pattern all around the cake. Pour espresso ganache on top of the cake and use a spatula to spread it out and allow it to drip a little along the sides.NOTE: In the pictures above, you will see that my cake is not filled. That's because I decided to make one large round cake instead of two cakes and chose not to add a filling. I just iced the cake, poured ganache and decorated with chocolate chips.
