I think it is very hard to make a cake more calorific than this one. A chocolate sponge with a dark chocolate ganache, topped with another chocolate sponge and another layer of chocolate ganache, topped with chocolate brownies and drizzled in a homemade salted caramel!!
The Salted caramel recipe and brownie recipe can be found on my website already. I just used this salted caramel recipe for the cake. I used my Salted Caramel Chocolate Brownie recipe to go on top however I remove the salted caramel as it is going to be drizzled on it anyway!
