Cakes are a must at any party and since I am working on the Anniversary Theme , I naturally had to post a cake . This is the cake that I made for our Anniversary .
I made the cake with a cake mix , but you could use any recipe of a chocolate cake . Now instead of filling the cake in layers , I scooped out the cake and filled it up . The top slice of the cake is saved to cover it up . After filling the scooped cake , I covered it with the saved slice .I poured ganache and then poured the strawberry sauce over it . You could decide whether you want to pour the purée or leave it as it is with some strawberry chunks . I was not happy with the final look but I had no choice . With everyone ready for cutting the cake and all eyes on you it gets difficult to click as well . Anyways we loved this scooping and filling concept and the cake tasted amazing .
