      • Cook:
      This is one of the first cakes I made and I actually liked it a lot. The texture was great and the chocolate sponge base was perfect. The original recipe from Lorraine Pascal really made it easy. I had to use bananas instead of raspberries (used in the original recipe) as finding raspberries during summer in India is a mission. I also used wafers instead of chocolate cigarillos as I was short of time. You may even use kit kat for the outer layering if you want.
      Preparation
      Main Preperation Steps
      • In a mixing bowl, melt the butter slightly and add sugar. Whisk properly till the batter forms a single color smooth texture
      • In a separate bowl add baking powder, flour and coco powder.
      • In the first bowl (with the butter) add two eggs and whisk until mixed well.
      • Add half of the powdered mix from the second bowl and whisk further
      • Add two more eggs followed by the remaining flour mix and whisk until it all becomes one smooth creamy texture.
      • In a baking tray spread the baking paper and add flour mix to the tray
      • After preheating the oven, bake at 180 Degree Celsius / 356 degree Fahrenheit for about 35 minutes

      Finishing the cake
      • After the cake is done remove it from the baking sheet and add it to a cake table.
      • Put a knife about half way up and slit the cake from the center.
      • Then cut across horizontally into two sets
      • Spread a layer of Ganache on the inside and apply a thick layer around the edges.
      • Put a thin layer of ganache on the top and refrigerate it for 15 minutes.
      • Add another layer on the outer ring and stick the waffle sticks or chocolate cigarillos if possible. I think the waffle sticks tasted a little too sweet so it is best to go with the cigarillos
      • Fill the top with a fruit of your choice. Lorrain even used flowers in one of her cakes. It is best to use fruits that will complement chocolate. I used bananas but you can use other fruits like raspberry, strawberries as suggested in the original recipe
