What To Do With A Chocolate Fudge Cake
Decorating By praetorian2000 Updated 24 Sep 2006 , 8:56pm by Chef_Stef
I have chocolate fudge cake that has been in the freezer since May. I made it a cake baking class. I didn't frost or fill the cake because I wasn't giving it away at the time. We made 3 cakes that day. The recommendation and instructions from the instructor was to frost it with whipped cream and fill it with strawberries and decorate the top with strawberries. What are some other suggestions? Coating the whole think in chocolate is out because I'm giving it to my co-workers and one of them has given up chocolate so I want it to be something taht everyone can eat. She could have a little piece but if the whole thing is chocolate, she'll refuse it.
Also, could I use a buttercream icing or would that be too much? I don't want an extremely rich cake. I want something light and easy. Something to balance the chocolate.
I did one recently with an italian meringue buttercream, drizzled the cake layers with a rum-flavored simple syrup, then flavored the filling with coconut flavor AND a layer of real shredded coconut. OMG, was it EVER good.
Strawberry, cherry, almond, raspberry, orange, banana cream filling also come to mind.
