  9. it's okey if u like ur sponge cakes like that
  10. yeah definately. sounds so tasty.... want some choc cake now!

  12. I did this yesterday, i melted a large bar of milk chocolate and poured it on top of the sponge cake. Unfortunately whe nit had set and it came to cutting the cake the chocolate had set hard and i had t oreally crack the choclate and found it hard to divide in to slices . I suggest adding some cream to the melted chocolate to make a ganash whick will set on top of the cake but will not set hard .
  13. I suppose it would be just yummy. I would try to make a chocolate glaze out of it though so that it wouldn't absorb too much into he cake.
  14. Once the chocolate cools it will turn into a solid again and will be heavy and hard.
    When the chocolate is melted add some butter to it and give a good mix. This should keep the chocolate soft when cold.
  15. try adding butter to the melted chocolate that will soften it a little
  16. As long as you save some for me.
  17. Ordinary melted chocolate will re-set to its original hard texture so unless you've got knives for teeth, forget it - despite what a load of others have said. If they DID do it, they forgot to mention that despite all the wonderful adjectives they've used about it, they forgot to mention that it's like chewing concrete!
    You should make a chocolate ICING mixture or use a sauce that will set to a soft consistency.
    Of course, IF YOU WANT A CONCRETE TOPPING, THEN BY ALL MEANS USE ORDINARY MELTED CHOCOLATE.
  18. Yeah It's ok. But make sure you eat the cake right away or the chocolate will harden. Or put some whip cream on there before putting your chocolate
  19. Yes it's fine and you can spread it smooth with a knife dipped in hot water
  20. Yes. And it sets pretty quickly so hurry with the spreading.
  21. yes
  22. that sounds great
  23. Add some sunflower oil to the melted chocolate then it will stay soft otherwise it may set too hard to cut. you could just grate the chocolate over the cake then it will cut easily.
  24. not if youre on a diet but heck go for it, you can always learn from your mistake if you go wrong.
