Sorry---I just saw this now. I am away on vacation until Friday but once I return I will send you the formula for truffeltorte.

Yes...it is indeed Austrian. Basically it is a rich chocolate sponge cake drenched in a rum syrup (I prefer to use Frangelico) with a ton of rich ganache. It ends up being four thin layers of sponge cake separated by four thick layers of creamy ganache. It is then frosted with ganache, dusted with cocoa, and enrobed in chocolate curls. It's a nice cake.
