For each birthday I always make a chocolate party cake based on a Jamie Oliver recipe. It is simple, but not quick. You have to take about 3 steps to finish it with more than an hour interval. (1) Make two cakes, cool down. (2) Put stuffing in between and (3) cover with chocolate. To make it even more special (4) decorate!
