Welcome to the Cake Decorators Q&A
Please, what is the recipe used for the chocolate polkadot handbag cake?
Hello alldone404
It looks very much like Paul’s moist chocolate cake which you’ll find here http://www.cakeflix.com/free-cake-decorating-courses/chocolate-cake-preparation and the ingredients list is here

Thank you ‘madewithlove’. I will try that, I thought that it might not have been firm enough to carve with. Once again, many thanks.
The moist chocolate cake will need to be carved either very chilled or slightly frozen. It carves beautifully, I used the cake for many projects. For hints and tips to help you achieve a successful bake I do recommend that you read the many member comments which the recipe generated. See the comments, particularly the later ones
The whole recipe fits into one 10″ square tin. If you need to convert tin sizes there is a ready reckoner here

Happy baking and decorating, good luck with your project.
