Feel free to save the piccy! On mine I sprinkled crumbled flake over it, but I'd leave doing that, it looked better without to be honest.

The recipe I used is here: http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/3092/ultimate-chocolate-cake

The only changes I made were adding the Cadbury's fingers around the side, not cutting the cake in into thirds (next time I will cut it in half though) and for the chocolate ganache I used half 60% cocoa as suggested and half Galaxy to make it less bitter. The ganache didn't set in time for eating it even after 2 hours in the fridge but to be honest it was nicer gooey I think!
