Chocolate Layer Cake with an Espresso Custard...

So the cake was a genoise chocolate cake and I didn't have any liquor to soak the cake in so I felt the overall dessert was a bit dry but the espresso custard was the perfect accompaniment for this. As you can see I still haven't developed my icicing skills and with the sweltering heat icing hard enough to do... but I promise better presentation next time!

The cake did vanish in no time though... and I seemed to have gotten perfect layers which made me happy....
