  • Both slices start from the same airy sponge — the fork can't tell them apart at the base.
  • The higher-calorie slice swaps whipped cream for buttercream, soaks the layers in condensed milk and seals them under chocolate ganache — three additional fat-and-sugar layers stacked on one sponge.
  • Fresh berries decorate for almost nothing
  • Chocolate shavings are pure 55% chocolate, more than ten times denser.
