I’m not a real chocoholic so I always (or most of the time) prefer chocolate-something-else combination, like strawberries and dark chocolate, orange and milk chocolate, lemon and dark chocolate, white chocolate and OREO crumbs, nuts and dried fruits with any kind of chocolates… but kiwi and chocolate? Well that was new (at least for me :D)

I made this cake a couple weeks ago. It started when I found this (well, it was my sister’s ;p) New Zealand chocolate with kiwi filling in the fridge. That was the first time in my life I eat chocolate-kiwi combination and it was… heaven! I like the combination of the sweet and sour of the kiwi with the sweet milky taste of chocolate. After finding a couple of kiwis and two packs of strawberries in the fruit compartment, I ran to the kitchen and start working…

And voila! This is Strawberry Chocolate Devil’s Food Cake with Chocolate-Kiwi Ganache filling…

Strawberry Chocolate Kiwi

This is simply flourless chocolate sponge cake with milk chocolate ganache and kiwi slices filling, covered with whipped ganache and dark chocolate ganache, decorated with strawberries and candied mandarin oranges (kino oranges).

All the freshness and the taste of chocolate I love.

Soooo…
