Chocolate Overload Cake – for when one chocolate isn’t enough Right. Some people say “chocolate cake” and they mean a light dusting of cocoa. Not me. This one’s called overload for a reason. It starts with a dark chocolate sponge – the really dark one, almost fudgy. Then a layer of chocolate ganache between the sponges. Then a coating of chocolate buttercream. Then a drip of warm dark chocolate round the edge. Then a pile of chocolate curls, chocolate shavings, and a few chocolate truffles on top. It’s ridiculous. It’s glorious. It’s not for the faint‑hearted. Where you can find it I bake these in Bromley. People from Downham, Grove Park, Sydenham, Catford and Bellingham keep ordering them for birthdays when they want to impress the real chocoholics. I deliver local, or you can collect from the shop – just bring a strong will. Who’s buying this? Chocoholics. The kind who eat a bar of dark chocolate for breakfast. People who think “milk chocolate is too sweet”. Also kids – they love the truffles on top. And honestly? Anyone who’s had a bad week and needs chocolate therapy. One thing to know This cake is rich. Like, one small slice and you’re done. But you’ll want another anyway. The truffles are real – they might melt in a warm car, so keep it cool. And the chocolate curls are delicate – they might shed a bit in transport. Right. That’s the chocolate overload.No apologies. No light version. Just chocolate.
