Chocolate cake failure!

Thanks for all your suggestions yesterday for my leftover Christmas turkey.  Some fantastic ideas which will help shake up my meal plans no end!  I had every intention of trying something new today, but after two failed attempts at my chocolate cake, I was pretty sick of the sight of my kitchen!  Tonight's leftover turkey got a jar of curry sauce poured over it, served up with rice and and green beans.  Very lazy and not very exciting!  But quick and stress-free after failure with my chocolate cakes.

Ahh, where did I go wrong?

Not too sure why, but my cakes turned out more like brownies.  Not quite the two-tier, ganache-coated chocolate extravaganza I had in mind!

The absolute worst bit about this is the fact that my hubby gave the recipe a go at the weekend and it turned out PERFECTLY.

Which only serves to make me feel an even bigger failure!

So the pressure is on tomorrow, to bake, fill, ice and assemble my cake, ready for the party on Saturday.  Wish me luck!

Best wishes
Debbie
