I hope not. <br /><br />I think the difference between this cake and the previous one is just a matter of photography - the first cake looks as if the light was artificial whereas the photograph here was taken in natural, but fairly dull, lighting comditions.<br /><br />The frosting is much the same as before - 100g 72% chocolate, 50g butter, 2 teaspoons golden syrup all melted together, then cooled until of a spreading consistency.Suellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04824039607448635437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5964357114353714908.post-53149835539879750132010-12-08T13:34:22.861+00:002010-12-08T13:34:22.861+00:00Suelle, this is the sort of chocolate cake that yo...Suelle, this is the sort of chocolate cake that you look at and immediately want a slice - I certainly want one right now, but will have to make do with a sip of water instead :(<br /><br />I don't know whether it's the light or you've used a different type of chocolate, but this one looks much darker. And are you going to give the recipe for your icing?Choclettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00173996730095174268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5964357114353714908.post-64745053918463281922010-12-07T11:32:01.832+00:002010-12-07T11:32:01.832+00:00It looks great Suelle.
