**TIPS**
Pace a pc of aluminum foil below cake base (enough to cover whole cake) as you pour fudge mixture over your cake as the mixture will be slightly runny. As the mixture flows down, use a plastic dough cutter/spatula to smoothen top n scoop back to sides of cake (not to waste)
Enjoy your Lana Cake!

Glad to see this chocolate cake. I simply love chocolates specially cakes. Was really looking what to have for Valentine’s Day and now glad to have this great recipe. Have got some cooking videos at Nom Food Community and found great recipes there. Will try some of them too.
Very Nice cake! I tried it its just that I have to adjust a liitle bit on the gelatine as the fudge was a little bit watery.Or maybe I have to boil it a little longer.. Thanks for wonderful recipe!
