This is my all time favourite cake....it is a chocolate torte style cake with each layer being cut into 1cm widths and filled with a rum, coffee and cocoa mixture. As this is a dessert style cake this step is best done 2-3 days prior to eating to allow the full flavour to immerse into the cake. On the day of serving, decorate with fresh whipped cream and chocolate shards of your choice. I chose to marble some dark and white chocolate but there are many other ways to decorate chocolate. You can get creative with the patterns by using a piping bag and nozzles to pipe stars, hearts or even write names. I love using chocolate shards as they make the cake look so decadent but it does take a bit of time and patience.
