The frosting *is* awesome....... when I was making it, I thought, "This
doesn't sound like it's going to be any sort of tasty" but boy!! was I
wrong!! The setting and then whipping it changes it dramatically.

The cake is fantastic, moist, and choc full of flavour (NPI), and the
frosting sets it *right* off!! I still remember people licking their
fingers, (and their plates!!) and asking for a second (and a couple of
them even a 3rd!!) piece.

And we had more people than usual dropping round for coffee and "Oh, do
you have any of the cake left?" in the days/week afterwards.

I think they have it as 1/2 and 1/2 to counterbalance the dark chocolate
cake and give it a bit of contrast.... but hey!! knock yourself out :-)

No worries, let us know when you make it and what it's like.

Just remember to get a *big* cake tin!!
