    Wedding cake - rich dark chocolate cake

    Tested

    "I made this cake for my wedding back in March. Absolutely everyone (even those who claimed not to like chocolate cake) loved it - so much so that I had to hide a chunk to eat myself after the event!! Because I was making it for my wedding I did a test run first - but when cutting it it was so perfect that the test cake became the real thing. One tip for cutting it - I didn't have a knife long enough as the cake is pretty big! Instead I pulled dental floss through it, resulting in a perfectly clean, straight cut for each layer. I filled and covered it in chocolate ganache and melted chocolate hearts (milk, white and plain) as I'm a bit of a chocoholic at heart. For the ganache I heated 600g double cream then melted 600g plain chocolate in it. Easy peasy! I'll definitely be making this again - thanks everyone who's commented previously on your hints for reducing the recipe for a smaller cake, they're a great help!"
