Christmas Calendar 2020 Day 23 - Chocolate cream cake with cinnamon & walnuts

 

The final cake creation for the Christmas of 2020 is this chocolate cream cake with cinnamon & walnuts, where I have used have combined this chocolate cake with cinnamon together with the use of whipped cream flavoured with cinnamon sugar & walnut like this walnut cream cake a la Svinkløv.
