Hi thereThe White Cake from Taste Mag is fab, beautiful and decadent and easy.Just go to taste website and put white cake in search.It is almond meal butter cake type thing, with cream cheese frosting devine!Also find a caramel mud cake goes down really well.

A Red Velvet cake is decadent, especially if covered in white icing. When you cut open the cake, and see that red, well, it's just incredible

I like to make a Black Forest Gateaux for special occasions. You do need Kirsch and, of course, cherries, but well worth the effort.

Chocolate mousse cake First line a (approx 9")spring tin or a tin with a removeable bottom neatly with baking paper Base: Chocolate Brownie 200g butter 200g dark choc 280g brown sugar 3 eggs 80g flour Melt butter and chocolate in a bain marie. Beat eggs and sugar until thick and creamy, add flour then liquid choc mixture.Pour into lined square baking dish approx 10x12" Bake until just set (stops wiggling) about 15mins. When cool using the circular tin, cut out a circle and place it in the bottom of that tin to form a base Chocolate Mousse 400g dark chocolate 800g cream Melt chocolate over bain marie.Let cool a little to room temp Beat cream until very soft peaks DO NOT OVER WHIP! in three turns add the cream to the chocolate, folding gently each time until combined.if the mousse curdles heat a little over a bain marie to take it back. pour ontop of the brownie base and set in freezer overnight. To ice 200g dark chocolate 400ml cream boil cream and pour over chocolate.Whisk until smooth, let it cool till room temp.Place cake on a cooling rack.Glad wrap a baking tray and place the cooling rack in this tray.Pour cool glaze over the mousse cake and let set.You can store excess glaze.decorate with cigarellos, chocolate flakes, run outs etc. For best results use a good quality dark chocolate, 70% or above.for the glaze and the mousse to work in this instance it needs these quantities of cocoa solids.do not use compound or cooking chocolate as it has too much oil
