Joffre cake

The Joffre cake is a delectable chocolate buttermilk layer cake filled with luscious chocolate ganache and crowned with velvety chocolate buttercream. This exquisite dessert was first created at the esteemed Casa Capșa restaurant in Bucharest, Romania, in honor of French Marshal Joseph Joffre's visit following World War I. An intriguing fact about its design is that some believe the cake's shape or dimensions were inspired by the Adrian helmets worn by French and Romanian soldiers during the war.
