the other day, with hubby staying back at work and having loads of already-cooked food supplies in the fridge *thanks to the mumS!!*, i had some time to bake! no special occasion, but i had this cake idea in mind for a while, only i've been too busy to try it out. baking a cake like this takes a good 3 hours!!

the cake recipe requires 3 eggs, but i only had 2 in the fridge =.= so had to downsize the cake. choc sponge cake cut into 3 layers. not v good knife work there... hee....



the finished product:


-Layered chocolate + coffee cream cake-

see the layers!! i think i'm a little obssessed with anything layered. hehe. kinda excites me to see the layers when its cut up :) 3 layers of choc sponge cake, brushed with expresso coffee, with layered chocolate ganache and coffee mascarpone cream!!



with the chocolate ganache, i was quite conscious that this cake might get too sweet, so i deliberately reduced the quantity of sugar. hehe, probably gone a tad too far. will need a little bit more sugar next time. and MORE coffee flavour too!! but otherwise it was NICE~~!!
