Recipe Intro From vykhuefoodstylist

To make this recipe, you will need a round cake pan that is 18 centimeters / 7 inches in diameter and a cake mold that is 14 centimeters / 5.5 inches in diameter. 

Who doesn't love chocolate? This gorgeous layered cake isn't for those on a diet, but you can reduce the sugar if you like.


In the recipe, instead of using a toasted base like I did, you can use finely ground cookies and mix in butter.
