Half way through making this cake, I realized I made almost the exact same thing for my sister's boyfriend just a year ago. This time around, I didn't include the flourless chocolate cake layer and I made an oreo whip cream layer. This was a lot less labor intensive to make yet just as delicious and rich.
Recipes: Chocolate cookies crust was from Martha's Stewart Pie and Tarts, chocolate pudding was from Baked Explorations, and whipped cream frosting was adapted from Junior's Cheesecake cookbook.
