Mary Berry’s Glorious Chocolate Truffle Cake

maryberry.co.uk

I live in Queensland, Australia and have always loved to cook. An avid cookery book collector(last count 324). I only share something if I have actually cooked it.

I failed miserably with this one. I used Terry’s Chocolate oranges to make the truffle filling instead of Bournville chocolate and the mousse just remained totally liquid. I can’t see that doing that would make the difference. I think some celebrity chef need to test their own recipes before putting their name to dishes.
