Which Show?
Who made this dish?
Moyin lives with his mum in Essex and balances baking with a political economy degree and competitive sprinting. As a nod to his Nigerian heritage he added extra strong Nigerian stout to his sponge to give it an extra kick, and finished the cake with Swiss meringue buttercream. {Moyin}: "I learned to bake at home with my mom when I was younger. I'm trying to keep it as tidy as possible. My mom doesn't like any mess in the house at all." Asked by Paul about his sprinting: {Moyin}: "The 100 meters in 10.76." {Moyin}: "It wouldn't be a good idea to use them yet." {Moyin}: "This is a Swiss meringue buttercream."
{Paul Hollywood}: "I like its simplicity." {Nigella Lawson}: "Beautiful. Beautiful." {Paul Hollywood}: "You've managed to achieve that blend of the chocolate and the stout. And I think the hazelnut works beautifully." {Nigella Lawson}: "Well, it has a popcorny taste. Buttery, sugary." {Paul Hollywood}: "However, I can taste the baking powder." [Flag: attributed by elimination. This block sits between Mo's and Clara's judging and could belong to Clara instead. The transcript never describes a hazelnut element for either baker.]
