Hi Kat! could I do the gnash with out the cream and just chocolate ? I made the recipe just slightly larger for my bigger cake. I’ve lusted after trying a cake from your site for a while and last night this cake did not fail my hopeful expectations. Preheat the oven to 190 C (gas mark 5). I needed to try this recipe.

Member recipes are not tested in the GoodFood kitchen. It’s SOOOO pretty!! Love the color and flavor. :D “Tens of people” *scrolls down* 132 comments. A total of 30-35mins.

I think I might just do a two layer but will decide after it chills. I doubled the recipe and made (3) 8 inch cakes.
