A classic chocolate celebration cake
This is the cake for people who want chocolate cake to taste like chocolate cake: soft sponge, creamy ganache and a glossy ganache finish without extra fruit, nuts or novelty flavours. It is rich, familiar and easy to serve for birthdays, office celebrations and family tables.
How it’s finished
The cake is finished with a chocolate-crumb coating, piped chocolate ganache rosettes and a marbled chocolate shard set across the top. Classic and unmistakably chocolate.
Handmade in Port Melbourne
Each Chocolate Layer Cake is made in-house at Melbourne Bakehouse on Bay Street in Port Melbourne. It is a good fit for local birthdays, office celebrations, family dinners and shared dessert tables where you want something familiar, easy to serve and properly celebratory.

You can also add a message plaque for a birthday, thank you, anniversary or custom message.
How to serve Chocolate Layer Cake
For the cleanest slices, serve the cake chilled and cut with a hot dry knife, wiping the blade between cuts. Let each slice rest for a few minutes before serving so the ganache softens and the sponge comes back to its best texture.
