AFTER ATTEMPTING THE SO-CALLEDORIGINALRECIPE THAT IS LISTED ONLINE, I DISCOVERED THE RECIPE FOR THE MERINGUE, SPONGE AND MOUSSE WAS ERRONEOUS! I LOOKED UP MY OWN RECIPES AFTER MAKING MANY BAD SPONGE CAKES AND WASTING EXPENSIVE INGREDIENTS. TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE!!
Cake made famous by the Sweet Temptations Cafe in the Lake Highlands area of Dallas, Texas (no longer in business). I found the recipe for the chocolate sponge cake, rum syrup, chocolate mousse, and chocolate meringue on-line under the title listed. They did NOT give instructions for the mousse nor did they give instructions for the ganache or how to build the cake or what to do with the rum syrup. They also did not give any information on the Kahlua cream sauce. Looked up as much as I could on-line.
