Title: Halloween Cemetery Cake (with photos)
Post by: farfallina on October 27, 2016, 03:40:59 pm
Hello friends,

Today I'd like to share a special recipe for Halloween.
I made this cemetery cake 3 years ago and somehow forgot to share.

In fact, it is a combination of various recipes that I had already posted in the forum.
My aim was to achieve a good looking spooky cake without compromising from the taste. So I decided to use a combination of some of my favourite recipes.
You can change the combination using your favourites..

Happy Halloween  :-*



Ingredients:

- Cake dough, syrup and filling cream from Chocolate Mimosa Cake (http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=15158) recipe.
- Chocolate sauce (http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=10655) for the top
- Biscuits for tombstone decoration
- Melted chocolate for tombstone decoration
- Ground Oreo biscuits for soil decoration
- Chocolate shards as in Devil's Food cake (http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=12531) recipe for the edges of our cemetery cake


Preparation:

    Prepare the cake dough as in the Chocolate Mimosa Cake (http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=15158) recipe. However, bake in a 20x30 cm cake tin. Let it cool several hours.

    Prepare the syrup as in the Chocolate Mimosa Cake (http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=15158) recipe. (Considering our little guests I prepared the syrup without rum this time. Instead I used 150 g water, 50 g sugar and vanilla)

    Prepare the filling cream as in the Chocolate Mimosa Cake (http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=15158) recipe..

    Prepare the Chocolate sauce (http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=10655) as in the recipe.

    Cut cake in half.

    Brush the bottom layer with the half of the syrup. Spread the most of the filling cream over. (Keep a small amount of the filling cream aside to cover the edges later)

    Carefully place the 2nd layer. Brush with the remaining syrup.

    Spread the Chocolate sauce (http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=10655) on the top. Cover the edges with the remaining cream which you previously set aside.

    Decorate some biscuits like tombstones using some melted chocolate.

    Decorate the edges of the cake with chocolate shards which you prepared as in the Devil's Food cake (http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=12531) recipe.

    Make small incisions on the cake, where you plan to place the tombstones, and insert them gently.

    Decorate in front of some of the tombstones with ground Oreo biscuits giving a soil like look.

    I have a Halloween themed chocolate mold at home. I melted some white and milk chocolate and decorated my cake additionally with with a ghost, bat, skull and jack-o'-lanterns.

    Let your cake rest and cool in the fridge at least 3 hours before you serve.


Enjoy
