Since it was last minutes decision, so i just can made a simple decoration, and luckily i got these big and sweet fresh blueberries to decorate this cake.
Whenever i was travelling oversea, sure i dropped by their supermarket to get some good quality and cheap chocolate back home. This time i used Valrhona dark chocolate which i gotten during New York trip last year.
The original recipe is using a chiffon tube pan, since i wanted to make into a Birthday cake, so i used normal round cake pan to bake this cake. I didn't invert the cake as i don't have the proper tool to hold and invert this cake pan..If you are using tube pan, then it is easy to invert.
simple decoration, sliced cake into 3 layers, frost with fresh cream (non dairy) and layer with blueberries filling (store-bought but tasted very artificial , will not buy this again!!).
