A Joffre cake is a chocolate buttermilk layer cake filled with chocolate ganache and frosted with chocolate buttercream originally created at Bucharest’s famed Casa Capșa restaurant in honor of a visit by French General Joseph Joffre shortly after World War I.Some commentators say the size of the Joffre cake probably had as a model the French casquet helmet worn by soldiers during World War I.
