3rd May 2011 - Fancy Chocolate Cake

Someone from work asked me if I could make them a Chocolate Cake... Not a standard chocolate cake but a nice fancy one.  I said I would give it a whirl. 

I used real dark chocolate in my sponge mix instead of cocoa powder.  Filled it with a triple layer of vanilla buttercream.  Covered it in a rich dark chocolate ganache, that I then coated in chocolate flavoured curls and dust.  Finally I piped chocolate ganache shells across the top edge and base of the cake and decorated with chocolate and vanilla butterflies and leaves. 

I thought that was fancy enough for anyone,  and person who asked for the cake loved it... =]
