Dark chocolate cake infused with earl grey
The key to great chocolate is balancing out the flavours in it. The same is true for layered cake. For the ultimate layered cake, I’ve chosen to work with 811 dark chocolate. Its balanced cocoa profile doesn’t overpower the notes of earl grey tea in the mousse. It’s perfect.
