Spread a layer of chocolate spread over the first layer, then pick up the other complete set of rings and lay it on top. You will have quite a huge cake but we want it to bond. Starting with the chocolate buttercream, pipe a dot about the size of a nickel on the bottom seam of the cake and drag the piping tip to the right to create a smear.

To get started with this recipe, we must prepare a few components. You can cook chocolate illusion cake using 4 ingredients and 11 steps. Here is how you cook it.

The ingredients needed to make Chocolate Illusion Cake:

1. Take 1 Dark Sponge
2. Prepare 1 Light Sponge
3. Make ready 2 Jars Chocolate Spread

I filmed the making of this cake, and the tutorial is available here >> Chocolate. Swiss buttercream is light and creamy, almost like a whipped cream except that it's more stable when used to ice and decorate a cake. It also has a slight tang like the cream cheese frosting. Dear Harley Cake Studio's founders Alison Chan and Cony Lam came up with the idea of making "illusion cakes" or confectioneries in the shape of everyday items, after baking a custom cake for Chan's.

Instructions to make Chocolate Illusion Cake:

1. Repeat this with both sponges
2. Using a long sharp knife, carefully slice the sponge into 3 equal slices
3. Look around your kitchen for 2-3 round items to use as a cutting guide. I’ve simply used a saucepan lid and 2 different sized cutters.
4. Lay your first slice on a chopping board and using your biggest disc, cut around the layer using a sharp vegetable knife. Then repeat with your smaller shapes. Do this to both a dark and light slice.
5. Now remove the outer ring of both slices and swap them and repeat with the other rings. (This is where pictures are helpful.
6. Once you’ve cut and swapped alternate rings on both slices, it’s time to start building. Spread a layer of chocolate spread over the first layer, then pick up the other complete set of rings and lay it on top.
7. Repeat the above process with the other 4 slices but on the final layer, do not put anything on the top just yet.
8. You will have quite a huge cake but we want it to bond. To do this place the cake tin ring around the cake and fasten, cover with cling film then weight the top. I used a baking tray and a saucepan of cold water. This process will adhere the layers fully. I left mine overnight but 2 hours will be long enough.
9. Now decorate at will. I simply used Chocolate Spread and melted chocolate.
10. At this stage your guests will just think it’s a normal chocolate cake, until it’s cut. Then watch their faces.
11. No matter where the cake is cut, you will end up with a mind boggling slice of squares from a round cake. Keep the secret, it’s just a hack. As ever, enjoy.

An illusion cake is a cake that looks 'anything but a cake,' as the Bake Off judges put it. So, if you're a master of disguise then this one's for you. You basically have to craft your layers of sponge into a shape that looks like something else. While his Italian dinner echoes the food illusions in GBBO as well as using gravity defying cake artistry, the combination of both is inventive and delicious. However, for the novice a simpler gravity defying cake may be required and the trend of pouring sweets onto chocolate cakes meets this.
