Chocolate Filigree Torte  

Posted by: Margie's Corner in , ,

Recipe take from book of chocolate by Hamlyn

Bake this cake a few months ago, from the book of chocolate by Hamyln.

This book was a present from Sianne, when she came to visit me last december with her family. We've been planning to bake this Chocolate Torte 6 months ago, but everybody too busy ..

Im busy busy with my little monster, and Sianne is busy with her Master Course.

finally we managed to bake this chocolate cake together.

I change the recipe of the chocolate cake to suit my taste, because the chocolate cake from the Hamlyn recipe book was so hard , I used my chocolate sponge cake recipe from Women's weekly Chocolate cakes Book.

Malcolm also loves the cake, he even asked for another Piece of chocolate cake...

Mama ...................pleaseeeeeeeeee....
