Chocolate layer cake with chocolate frosting and a mound of strawberries!
I have been wanting to try this cake out since I saw Lorraine Pascal make on TV. Making a delicious birthday cake for my sister seemed like the perfect opportunity to give it a go.
Making the cake and frosting:
My mum assisted by making the cake base ahead of time (as I was arriving on an afternoon flight). She followed Lorraine's 'I can't believe you made that' cake recipe and it worked out perfectly! |
| Moist chocolate cake |
 |
| Cut into two layers |
I made the chocolate frosting from the same recipe.
 |
| Butter and sugar |
 |
| creamed butter and sugar |
 |
| added melted chocolate |
Decoration:
For decoration we decided on heaps of fresh strawberries for the top, Arnott's Choc Fun Sticks for the sides and a final dusting of icing sugar. |
| Frosting was added between the layers as well and all around the top and sides |
 |
| used these to decorate the edge of the cake |
 |
| add strawberries (fresh, halved) |
 |
| Final product, dusted with icing sugar. |
