I found this recipe on The Whoot recently, Natalie Tyner tweaked a chocolate cake to make it look like a Christmas Pudding. Underneath is a delicious looking sponge cake which can be layered with cream and chocolate icing. This would certainly make a good conversation point at your upcoming Christmas party.
You could just use your favourite chocolate cake recipe, or use the recipe from The Whoot, the full recipe can be found here.

I made the candy cane cake last week and it looked good (made a bog standard Greens chocolate mud cake from the box cake mix), those candy canes sure are sticky to handle when cutting up, used 3 bags. Only needed 1 bag of Christmas M&Ms, so we get to eat the contents of the other bag. It looked great and I had a thin green ribbon to wrap around. If I make it again next year though I might do a taller cake, maybe a Betty Crocker Devil’s Food Cake box cake mix. This week I am making the Malteser covered Christmas Pudding (look) cake but on top instead of custard I will mix a concoction of white chocolate and cream to melt then cool, like I did for the chocolate on one of your other cakes a few weeks ago (the choc mint cake perhaps?). Then I’ve got some fake holly but though I would try glace red and green cherries first, to see how it looks. I will buy the choc sponges this week though, never made one before and don’t need the added stress this week of all weeks! Wish me luck 🙂
So glad you like my cake ideas and recipes! I hope you had a lovely Christmas. Kat x
