Bulgaria - Garash Cake
This delightful Bulgarian cake is made up of 5 layers of walnut meringue sponge and chocolate cream filling. Once it’s firmed up in the fridge for a few hours, its then finished with a simple chocolate shell made with chocolate and oil. Little does anyone know what beautiful layers lay beneath.
Germany - Maulwurfkuchen
A traditional German cake, often eaten for birthdays. Maulwurfkuchen translates to ‘Mole Hill’ and I’m sure you can see why. It consists of a chocolate sponge which is hollowed out before being filled with sliced banana. It is then topped with the biggest mound of whipped cream you’ve ever seen (speckled with crunchy chocolate flecks) and finished with the chocolate crumbs that were scooped out earlier.
Black Forest Cake
I found it very difficult to let go of my perfectionism and create this rustic looking cake! I'm learning to see the beauty in the organic folds of the cream and messy cherry jam spilling over the edges.
