Another great classic turned into something different. I made a blend of the traditional Diplomatic and Black Forest cakes… The result was two layers of buttery homemade puff pastry, two layers of Diplomatic cream (pastry cream and Chantilly combined) and a layer of sponge chocolate cake moistened with cherry syrup… candied cherries on top and scattered in the layers of cream. Dusted with powder sugar… Way to sinful for lent… but today is St. Patrick’s Feast.
