Maulwurfskuchen - Mole cake (You can guess where the name comes from :D )

A chocolate sponge cake, hollowed out and filled with bananas, chocolate chips, and whipped cream. The crumbs are then used to decorate the dome.

I will post the recipe if someone’s interested.

(P.S. No moles were harmed in the making of this post!)

    Cross section!

    I can imagine it’s really freaking hard to get the balance between chocolate, whipped cream, and banana right. Any advice for that?

      That’s right, a cross-section would be really handy. The problem is that I often give the cakes (including this one) away as gifts… and a cut cake doesn’t look so good. ;)

      There are many different versions of this recipe, some with different creams and different quantities for the filling. I’ve always had good results with this recipe… if in doubt, I would just try it out (and make notes in my own recipe book/on the printout about what I would change next time).
