- Pour the mixture into a buttered and floured 22 cm cake tin.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes. (Do the toothpick test).
- Remove from the oven and let cool completely.
- In the meantime, prepare the ganache: chop the chocolate and pour it into a bowl, add the very hot cream and mix well to get a smooth, shiny cream.
- Let it cool for 5 minutes so that it thickens a little.
- Turn the cake on a tray and cover with th ganache making sure that it drips a little around the edges.
- Cover with chocolate flakes.
- Prepare the little monsters by decorating the digetive biscuits with melted chocolate (use a paper cone) and with Smarties as eyes (use a dot of chocolate to make the pupils).
- Place the biscuits on the cake just before serving, because the soft and moist base would make them lose their crunchiness!
Notes
- You have to keep your Halloween cake in the fride, but it's better to eat it at room temperature.
- Remember to put the biscuits on the cake just before serving it not to loose crunchiness!
