Chocolate and Macaron Whoopie Gateau

Buttercream is a filling and icing, which is used extensively in cake making. An easy buttercream is made by creaming butter with powdered sugar and flavoured.

Ingredients

800 g chocolate sponge
300 ml crème de cacao
1000 g Vanilla buttercream
300 g almond macaroons
200 g toasted long shredded coconut
White chocolate
Whoopies

Method

Cut the 30 cm round chocolate sponge in three layer and place the bottom layer on a cake tray. Sprinkle crème de cacao on each layer. Spread vanilla buttercream evenly on bottom sponge layer with macaroon on top. Place another layer of crème de cacao infused sponge on top and spread caramel buttercream evenly on the second sponge layer with macaroon on top. Place the last crème de cacao infused layer of sponge on top and cover the Gateaux in caramel buttercream. Wrap the side with toasted coconut and divide the cake 14-16 pieces. Decorate the middle on top with toasted coconut and pipe a small rosette on each slice. Pipe a large rosette on each slice and top with two whoopee shells layered with vanilla buttercream dipped half in white chocolate.

Note: You can use fresh whipped vanilla flavoured cream instead of buttercream.
