Well its time to get our Chocolate on !!!!
Especially when Ive Been Gifted some very nice chocolate shards from a company thats local to me …..I do like to support local as much as I can and I can get much more Local than Whittakers Chocolates in Skipton
I will add the link at the bottom of the post for the chocolate
Now aren’t I the lucky one !!! This is not a paid or sponsored post , but I will always be transparent if its free items …..but I only use them if they get The Cauldron Approval
And this choccie certainly did 😍😍😍
So what better way to show case it than with chocolate at every turn !!
In the cake , in the ganache topping and topped off with even more !!!
Can you get a chocolate rush 😂😂😂😂😂
I chose to do this cake in my nordic bundt tin ( Thanks to my dear friend Shari for that item ) as I think it just makes a statement
However you can bake it in two 8′ tins if you prefer ….. but personally invest in a bundt tin they are worth the investment and being British it means more cake and less frosting …. which we love 🙊🙊🙊
Here’s a link to a similar pan ( I’m not on affiliate program so no pennies made from you kicking on 🤣🤣)
So bake to the cake !!! It really is straight forward
But I would advise you make the bakers gloop recipe that I’ve provided …it slides out a dream when you invert it to take it out !!
And worth that little more effort
Ive added a couple of quick videos , both of the gloop and the cake …because then once again you can see how it develops into the cake ( Plus it seems to be the way at the moment 😂😂😂)
So lets bake a cake …..you wont regret it
