Inst...I made it yesterday, with some modifications. Instead of making two cakes (I only have one 8-inch sandwich tin), I halved the ingredients list, made just one cake - and then cut it in half. Instead of the buttercream from the recipe, I used the chocolate fudge cream left over from the Domo cake, and it worked great!<br /><br />The cake is incredibly light and moussey, making it a perfect companion the chocolate cream. One thing that prevented me from fully enjoying it was... well, the amount of baking powder that goes into it. I know, I know, that's part of the secret behind its fluffy texture. It's just that I'm very sensitive to baking powder, and I could feel it burn the back of my throat when I ate the cake. That's why I decided not to give any of it to my Mum - she's even worse than me in that regard! So, if you're sensitive to baking powder, you should proceed with caution (maybe the amount can be decreased? I'm not sure). But if you don't mind baking powder, go ahead and make this - you'll be in chocolate heaven!morrinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-430441346293872555.post-78269098331446111782012-08-09T10:12:00.062+01:002012-08-09T10:12:00.062+01:00I loove the Olympics too!
