- 10. TIP... This is an easy recipe a little time consuming..I make the cake and filling the night before. I did not slice cake till in the morning and after filling set up in refrigerator I mixed it up with a whisk. IN the morning I simply sliced my cake and spread on filling and then made up the Dark Cocoa Glaze. So simple =) ENJOY
