Chief, If it is a Christmas cake competition, how about just looking for the best chocolate cake that has seasonal touches to it. For example:
A chocolate layer cake with a filling of peppermint whipped cream and drizzled with chocolate ganache.
A chocolate cake that is in a Christmas shape - holly leaf, bell, etc.
A chocolate cake that is made into a yule log
The possibilities are endless.
Thank you LB. A poke cake is not fit for human consumption. There is a reason it didn't last too long. I would hate to waste all those good ingredients on a product that no one will eat.
