This is a cake I made for our AFL Grand Final celebration. My partner's team made it into the granny, so he suggested a baked good to celebrate. His team's (Hawthorn's) colours are brown and gold stripes, so I opted to make a vertically striped cake to represent it. The brown layer is quite obviously chocolate mudcake, while the gold layer is banana mudcake. The whole thing is layered and filled with dark chocolate ganache.I made the cake vegan to accomodate all dietary requirments of people attending, though there's hardly any difference in the recipe. It's one of those basically accidentally vegan cakes._______________________________________________
