• Pre heat the oven to 180 degrees C.

Soaking

• Mix the condensed milk, evaporated milk and cream .
• Add few drops of vanilla essence.
• Pour the is milk mix gently over both the cakes.
• Let the cake soak the milk .
• Cover and keep aside for 30 minutes.

Frosting

• Whip the cream till soft peaks form.
• I use a cream which is sweet and flavored with vanilla.
• In case you are using one which is not sweet , add sugar and vanilla essence.
• Frost the cake with whipped cream, place the second half making it a sandwich.
• Cover the cake with frosting,
• Place it in the frig.

Cake Lace

• Melt the dark chocolate compound till just melted.
• Pour it into a piping bag and snip off the tip.
• Pipe out a design with the chocolate on the parchment paper which has been cut according to the measurements. Make sure the design is connected, else the lace will fall off.
• Let the lace set.
• Remove the chilled cake and wrap the lace around the cake, peeling away the parchment paper.
• I poured some chocolate over the top and then garnished it with shredded white chocolate.
