Mocha Chocolate Torte
Voice-over: "Hoping to perfect a flawless, flowerless sponge, Rowan's adding espresso and cocoa powder, and he's giving his chocolate torte an extra caffeine kick with a coffee swiss meringue buttercream filling."
Rowan: "I'm a coffee fiend. I can't function as an adult without my forest."
Prue Leith: "Very elegant."
Paul Hollywood: "It is very elegant. It's beautifully smooth. You've got a lovely shine to it. The chocolate decorations are good, the pipework is good, so let's see if it's as good inside as it is outside."
Prue Leith: "That looks amazing. Doesn't that look pretty? I love it. It's very strong on the coffee."
Paul Hollywood: "Yeah, I think it's beautiful."
Prue Leith: "You've got a swiss meringue buttercream in there, which is like silk. And the level of coffee is spot on. I think the sponges have compressed a little. Your cake was completely flourless, wasn't it? That's why it's compressed a bit."
Paul Hollywood: "But, Rowan, you've done a very good job."
