English Wine-Jelly Chocolate Layer Cake
Three sponge layers spread with wine-flavoured jelly and coated in vanilla chocolate icing.
Method
Steps
Step 1
For the proposed sponge, beat eggs and sugar until thick and pale, gently fold in flour and baking powder, divide among three lined 20 cm pans and bake at 175 °C for about 18 minutes until springy. Cool fully before filling.
Step 2
Heat cream until steaming, pour over chopped chocolate, rest two minutes and whisk smooth with butter and vanilla. Cool until thick enough to spread over the assembled cake.
Step 3
Stir wine into thick fruit jelly. Cool all three proposed sponge layers fully before assembly.
Step 4
Spread wine jelly between the three layers and a thin coat over top and sides; chill briefly until tacky.
Step 5
Cover top and sides with proposed vanilla chocolate icing. Allow icing to set, then slice into ten.
