NOTES BY FOODEVA MARSAY
🎂DO NOT OVER-BAKE this cake, once skewer comes out clean, with a few crumbs, Remove from oven…It IS A ‘FUDGY’ cake afterall
🎂This cake is definitely not a ‘stacking’ kind of cake, as it is way too soft to hold up. It is best Suited for a Springform Tin or a Tray bake, OR as Here today I used a 20cm Sandwich Tin
🎂If you are using a Springform Tin, Make sure it seals well, as this cake batter is very wet and runny.
🎂Worry NOT when you see cracks appear on the cake surface,, after cooling on wire rack, gently trim off the top cracked bits and place this trimmed side down onto a cake board/stand/platter, before going ahead with decorating.

INFO & TIPS

NOTES BY FOODEVA MARSAY

🎂This Icing will appear like a ganache type of icing when poured on, but it DOES set a lot firmer. BEST to add any decorations to top or sides, whilst the icing is still wet.

🎂Try not to move the cake, on board/platter, after the icing firms up/sets as it will result in cracks on the set icing. But hey even if it does…IT’S STILL DIVINE

🎂The icing recipe above is in picture is the Chocolate one covering the entire cake, You can decorate further as you like. I’ve used Lotus BISCOFF (warmed slightly) to do a drip down along the sides, after the boiled icing set a little.
