Do you have a spice cake recipe?
This looks really delicious. But I was wondering if you could use white chocolate instead of milk or dark chocolate?
Yyyuuummmmmmyyy…!!!
I tried this recipe at home but my sauce was so runny. What should i do now?
omg raw eggs!!!!!!!
Dear Jemma,
Please recreate LEMON PIE by Cyril Lignac.
Shortbread hazelnut, lemon cream and compote, coated with a white chocolate plate and decorated with a vanilla lemon glaze. 🙂
Can I live with you? I’ll give you like 4 dollars
Hey Jemma. Can this cake be left out of the fridge?
I am not sure why my truffle filling won't set its the second time I try and the cake is sliding like a land slide. It was my 47th birthday 10 October and I was gutted. You recipes normally are foolproof
If you mess up just mix in a lot of baking powder, the cake still turns out great!
Gosh, that's my kind of cake, more chocolate truffle than actually cake! A.M.A.Z.I.N.G
I followed the instructions precisely but the truffle didn't set and melted once out of the fridge , I wonder why? For how long should it stay in the fridge?
Hi Jemma, is there just any way the eggs can be replaced by a veg substitute? My friends don't eat eggs :/
I tried this and took it to my aunt's when I went to stay this weekend
It was Yummy the kids loved it and so did the adults.
Definitely will make again
Used ( dark chocolate from Tesco) that was 80p/150g
As I couldn't find the other chocolate 👌
Did the job tastes Great 😋😋
Thank you so much Jemma
I've tried so many of your recipes and they turn out delicious
My Families favourite is rainbow cake
Mum loves the chocolate cup cakes
And I use the rainbow cake recipe divided into 3 (3eggs 250g Sugar Flour butter /margarine etc) to make normal cake and spread some jam and coconut over it they love that as well with some custard.
Bouncy texture and softness yummy cakes
❤❤
What 85g Flour And That Much Sponge: Really…..
For us rookies out there: the eggs must be at ROOM TEMPERATURE
Heyla Jemma! 🤗
You made a mistake in description bar, where it says 5 egg yolks instead of 6 like you say (and have in the bowl)! 😉
No baking powder
Can you the cake recipe as a normal chocolate cake recipe just in case
Jemma, could you please tell me what size pans you are using. I know you said 6" but what heights and thanks in advance.
I'm having a tough time getting this to come out right. Most times it falls and becomes very heavy.
wish you would have showed us how to get it out of the tin!
love your cakes
jemma you are love! ❤❤😘😘 i love all your recipes and how clearly you explain out everything!
Again…why don't we add any raising agents?? Baking powder/baking soda??
Is it good to measure flour or cocoa powder before sifting ???
Please make belgian chocolate cake also
Hi Jemma, I made this yesterday and it was fabulous! Instead of using the acetate, I have a 6 inch panettone pan which I stacked the layers in, using your warm tea towel recommendation to loosen. It worked perfectly!
Can i use another chocolate chips??
At what temperature u have baked it?
How did you take out the cake from the cake tin w/o ruining the cake?
Does anyone know if you can cover this cake with buttercream to make a traditional looking birthday cake?
the cake looks absolutely fab.. but i cant figure out how you took the cake out of the tin?
Hi Jemma,
How on earth did you get the beautiful cake 🍰 out of the tin after you added the truffle mixture?!?
Thank you so much, I love your recipes!!!
🤗
Mhhhh 🥰😍💗
Is there any other way to beating the eggs besides using the stand mixer?
can i use the hand mixer instead of a stand mixer while beating the eggs?
Is it 6 or 5 egg yolks? Also if you don't have acetate will greaseproof paper work? The answer is yes. Tried it worked great. Also for those of you asking how to get it out the tin just pull it up holding the top of the paper and it comes out quite easily. Loved making this. Thanks Jemma
Hi jemma I tried ur recipe but v disappointed 😕😕😕😕😕😔
Truffle is not coming out like yours😔
Every time I make truffle it comes out really liquidy..
Plzzzzzzzzz help me
Watching this on dec 31 2019, exactly 4 years from the day of upload. Happy new year 2020 peeps
4 years ago I asked my mom to make this for my birthday. I remember being so excited 😆
Hi! I wanted to know if I can substitute the double cream used for the ganache with whipping cream because in Mexico it's very difficult to get the double cream, there's only whipping cream with about 36% of butterfat. Thanks!
Chocolate Cake Queen.
How did you take it out of the pan after putting on the truffle filling?
Give me one bite of cake please
Mmm
Any of you who have tried the recipie please help me. Does the yolk in the frosting give out a smell?
