Tesco has just launched the Ultimate Finest Chocolate Christmas Cake, developed with Michelin-starred chef Raymond Blanc.

Tesco's Finest* Dark Wild Bolivian Chocolate Cake features layers of moist chocolate sponge, crunchy caramel feuilletine and rich chocolate ganache topped with handmade chocolate leaves and dusted with cocoa powder. This unique cake is an experience to savour – an ideal treat for chocolate lovers.

What makes this luxurious creation even more special is that Tesco source wild chocolate exclusively from Bolivia for the recipe. Made using grand cru Bolivian cacao beans, this uniquely delicious chocolate is produced using gentle, traditional methods. Tesco say: "Raymond's technical mastery, creativity and passion for the highest quality ingredients is what inspired Tesco chefs to create what we believe is the perfect Christmas chocolate cake."
