here comes the dessert for our dinner for 4. i previously made an 8' cake tin version and this time round i adjusted the recipe to my liking, so as to make it less sugary but lighter and fluffier *whilst still v naughty* its unusual i can spend so much time on a dessert, but it was well worth the effort!! although i may not make these tiny versions anymore and revert to the cake tin version :)

the concept comes from rocky road chocolates, but transformed into cake form.


-Mini rocky road cake-



a chocolate and espresso coffee chiffon cake base topped with a light and smooth chocolate mousse. and in the centre there is a layer of naughty goodness - marshmallows, sugar coated pistachio and almonds, dried cranberries, currants and turkish delight. this cake is so fun to eat!! kinda has a sexy exterior but a cheeky kiddy interior.

the interior:



my first cake attempt:



see the brandy snaps? took me a while to make them look good. and despite the effort, the snaps LITERALLY snapped in the end after a day of refrigerating >.< apparently they wont last for more than a few hours in the fridge. d'oh
