This is one of those classics which looks incredibly difficult to make but, though time-consuming is actually very easy and absolutely scrumptious. It is a mould of sponge cake filled with chocolate and cream. During my childhood in Italy we always had this at home for birthdays, holy days and anniversaries. The fiddly decorating bit with the paper cut-out can be ignored, although it is traditional.
