Method
1. Ganache - to make the ganache, heat the dark chocolate and cream in a microwave, stir till it's smooth and homogeneous.
2. Leave this aside to set well. (preferably make it the previous day)
3. Melt dark and white chocolate separately and pour into the square and chess chocolate moulds, leave it in the freezer for 5 mins. Remove gently and set aside. (check pic below)
4. Fix two pieces of the chess piece together with a little chocolate to make a single chess piece.
5. Take 3 different square moulds to make the checkerboard cake.
6. Place the large square on the chocolate cake and cut the corners. Do the same with the vanilla cake too.
7. Repeat with the next two squares.
8. Now do a crisscross. Take the chocolate cake and place it in the vanilla cake and then take the vanilla cake and place it in the chocolate cake.
9. Soak one layer of the cake and spread ganache. Place the next layer of cake on the ganache and frost the entire cake. Leave in fridge for 30 mins.
