Method
Steps
Step 1
For the proposed sponge, beat eggs and sugar until thick and pale.
Step 2
Gently fold in flour and baking powder, divide among three lined 20 cm pans.
Step 3
Bake at 175 °C for about 18 minutes until springy.
Step 4
Cool fully before filling.
Step 5
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 6
Stir wine into thick fruit jelly. Cool all three proposed sponge layers fully before assembly.
Step 7
Spread wine jelly between the three layers and a thin coat over top and sides; chill briefly until tacky.
Step 8
Cover top and sides with proposed vanilla chocolate icing. Allow icing to set, then slice into ten.
