I loved this cake. I didn’t have a big mold but I had a doughnut silicone mold which I used to assemble the cake. I was skeptical about the fitting of the cremeux and sponge base so I cut the sponge smaller. Only after cutting the cross section I understand that it could have fit fully. The taste was so goooooood. I was worried the glaze was not the proper color but after I blended it with the hand blender it turned out alright! I used the chocolate glaze from the chocolate éclairs as I had a lot left over, but it cooled too fast and some got messy. I will definitely be making this again, the taste is unforgettable 😍
I used peanut paste instead of hazelnut paste for the mousse.
Here are my photos 🙂
Amazing and the most delicious cake.
Thank you!
