Wedding cake - rich dark chocolate cake

"I am making this again for a friends 30th birthday in 3 weeks and I will be adding the lemon tier this time round. The chocolate version I wrote about in June for my friends 40th turn out amazing. It was very mosit and all the guests were very impressed with how gorgeous it tasted! The only difficulty I had was with the chocolate filling and found this came through the icing on the corners of my cake. I think I just put too much on the outside of the cake so this time I will be caucious! Also putting it in the fridge once it has been filled and covered in the buttercream for about 2 hours and letting it set has been recommended and I will try it this time."

"I made this cake for my friends 40th birthday today and I halved the recipe and calculated what tin size I needed and this fitted perfectly in a 7" square tin. I also have a fan oven and 160 was too hot still for such a long cooking time so I cooked it for 2.5 hrs at 150c (fan oven) so be careful to accommodate what your oven does rather than what the instructions tell you. I'm icing it later today so have not yet had the pleasure of tasting it."
