My first Chocolate Pavé

Yesterday I attempted my first ever Chocolate Pavé:

I used a recipe from my Lindt Chocolate Recipe Book using 90% Dark Chocolate rather than 70% Dark Chocolate (Not sure what impact this has other than maybe a richer cake)

The cake itself was spiced with Ground Cinnamon (Not sure I put enough in), some Ground Cardomon (Think I put too much in), Madagascar Vanilla Extract and Tallisker Whisky.

Cake Ingredients


The original recipe had 2 teaspoons of rum (Or was it tablespoons) I put 4 teaspoons of Tallisker in the cake plus had a spoon myself, purely for medicinal purposes.

Finished cake decorated with wild flower


Cake itself turned out lovely and dense like a paving slab which is what the French word Pavé means I believe. Now I await some friends to test the cake and give their verdict.
