Triple Chocolate Caramel Cake

Hello all, finally i am back and hopefully this time i can be here longer than the previous time i blogged.
Today, i wish to share the birthday cake that i baked for my 15th year old daughter. I saw this at Ayu's blog which she saw at this fantastic lady Rima (i just got to know of her blog recently) so here goes the recipe.........
(psst ayu - i cut & paste eh...thanx)

Ingredients for cake:-(1/2 recipe-18cm)
5 eggs
75g sugar
1/2 tbsp emulsifier
70g flour
30g cocoa powder
40g dark cooking chocolate
50g Margarine-melted( I used butter)

Method:-
Preheat oven 170C. Heat butter until melted, add in cooking chocolate and stir(Double boiling method). Let it cool-set aside.
Whisk eggs and sugar till fluffy. Add emulsifier. Add in sifted flour & cocoa powder into batter and continue to whisk till combined. Lastly add in melted butter/chocolate mixture and stir well. Divide the batter into prepared cake pans. (i used to pans) smoothen the top and bake for about 30 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into centre comes out clean. Cool layers completely. While the cake is baking & cooling, make the filling syrup and ganache.

Ingredients Chocolate Ganache:-
250ml fresh cream/double cream/whipping cream-
250g dark cooking chocolate
30g butter
Method:-
Place the chopped chocolate in a bowl. Heat the cream until it just begins to boil. Remove from heat and pour over the chocolate. Let stand one minute, then stir. Add in butter and continue to stir until smooth. Cling wrap your bowl and let it sit in a chiller for at least 3 hrs. Once ready to spread ganache on your cake, whisk chilled ganache for a few minutes and its ready to be used.

Ingredients Caramel Syrup:-
50g sugar
25ml of water(1)
50ml waster(2)
Method:-
Heat sugar with water(1) over fire(cook until it turns caramelized). Add water(2) into the caramel mixture, cook and stir until caramel melts and blended. Turn off heat, let cool.
(I heated up the sugar waited till it bubbles and slightly burnt before adding water 1&2)-same like Rima did.

To assemble Cake:-
Remove the cake layers from the pan.( Set the first cake layer on a cake plate. Spread simple sugar over it which u can easily do by cooking 1/2 cup of sugar with 1/2 cup of water. Then spread caramel syrup and ganache(1cm thick) over the cake layer, making sure it reaches to the edges. Set another cake layer on top. Spread ganache on the sides and top then pipe a decorative border around the top.
