- Place the bottom layer of the cake on a turntable or a serving plate and sprinkle half the soaking syrup evenly over it.
- Spread half of the chocolate truffle icing evenly over it and sandwich it with the top layer of the sponge cake.
- Sprinkle the remaining half of the soaking syrup over it.
- Spread the remaining of the truffle icing evenly over it and along the sides of the cake.
- Garnish with swirls of beaten whipped cream and grated chocolate and refrigerate for 1 hour or till set.
- Cut the cake into 6 equal wedges and serve chilled.
