Chocolate Travel Cake
Chocolate sponge cake with a filling of tonka bean and caramel.With these stainless steel baking molds from Martellato, designed in collaboration with pastry chef Frank Haasnoot, making the travel cake is a breeze! By baking the cake in the oven with a filling rod, you create a pastry with a 'hollow' section in the middle, which can easily be filled with a (jelly) filling of your choice. The result is a classic, neatly finished cake.Ingredients
