So when the college decided to have a cake making competition I decided to give it another go. I thought for weeks about cake structural integrity and here's what I came up with. I didn't win any prizes but the cake all got eaten. That's a win in my book.
I started by baking two cakes. I used the fool proof women's weekly quick mix chocolate cake.
I baked a double batch in two tins. Then left them to cool.
I cut each cake in half except my top halves were more like domes. Not exactly what I had in mind but not a disaster.
I doused the cakes in about half a cup of coffee. I think it needed more. I would have used a bit of booze too if it had been for a different crowd.
Then it was time to prop it all up. I used tirimisu biscuits for structural integrity and cream for the glue. It worked well to keep the domey bits of cake up.
I layered up the four cakes with chocolate sauce in between the cake and the cream.
When I got to the top I put another layer of cream and grated chocolate...because obviously.
