Heavy. Chocolate on chocolate on chocolate. Which is fine obviously. Love that. But sometimes you want something that fights back a little. Something that's got that deep chocolate hit but then something sharp cutting through it.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThat's where this one came from.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eI was messing about in the kitchen one day.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHad some chocolate ganache left over from something. Thought right what happens if I add a bit of orange? Then a bit more. Then some lemon zest just to see. And it worked. Like properly worked. The chocolate was still chocolate but the citrus just lifted it. Made it interesting.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSo I kept going. Tweaked it. Got it right. Now here we are.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHere's what you're getting.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eChocolate sponge first. Dark. Damp. Proper chocolate taste. Not messing about. Then we soak it. Just a tiny bit. With citrus syrup. Orange and lemon. Not much. Just enough to get that tang through the whole thing.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThen the truffle layer. This bit's the star. It's not buttercream. It's actual ganache. Chocolate and cream melted together until they become this glossy silky thing. Then we add the tang. Zest. Juice. A bit of this and that. Makes it sharp and rich at the same time.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBetween the layers?

Smooth and glossy. Then chocolate shavings. Then a little twist of candied citrus peel if I've got it. Looks fancy. Tastes even better.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWho's buying these slices?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eChocolate lovers who want something different.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePeople who find normal chocolate cake boring.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHonestly?
