I make this cake once or twice a year for birthdays. People always tell me how GREAT it tastes--some even say it is the best cake they've ever had. Some don't believe that I baked it, but bought it at a high end bakery. I get 16 slices of cake from it (not 12). I follow the cake recipe to the letter, and I do not overmix when adding the flour (very key to a moist light cake). I increase the filling by about 25%, otherwise you really have to stretch it. Instead of drizzling chocolate on the sides, I frost the sides with a ganache frosting--1 cup butter and 1 cup semisweet choc. chips.

An easy recipe with incredible flavor! The taste of the duck and the stuffing go so well together; you'll want a bit of each on every forkful. I stuffed two ducks with this recipe and had some left over. I added chicken broth to the leftover stuffing and heated it up toward the end of cooking time.
