An Indulgent Chocolate And Pomegranate Layer Cake

Chocolate lover cake is what I would describe this cake as being  … it is so chocolatey with that indulgent feel about it with the 3 layers of moist chocolate sponge with creamy chocolate ganache between each layer and then covered also around the outside of the cake with ganache too and with pomegranate sprinkled over the top .. Yummy ! , who can resist that ?

Here below is an excerpt about this cake from Martha Collison on Waitrose  website and a list of the ingredients you will need plus the video tutorial  to watch
