As mentioned earlier, I did the chocolate-citrus cake again this year. It was quite a success.
Cake after assembly and frosting, but before decorations:

I opted not to do the candied oranges again this year. The sprinkles save me time, and I think they look seasonal and festive:

Cross section of the cake:

This is a very serious and seriously rich cake. When you're done, you know you've eaten cake. One of my cousins told me that she broke out in a sweat it was so much cake.
In other words, good stuff, folks. Good stuff.
Also? Whenever I do the ganache, I think of this riff.
