Here I used healthy peanut butter frosting and arranged the chessboard using white chocolate and brown chocolate. Let move on to the method.

PEANUT BUTTER FROSTING

Ingredients

Peanut butter unsweetened - 1/2 Cup

Unsalted butter - 1 Tbsp

Maple syrup - 2 Tbsp

Mix all the above ingredients with whisk until reach the creamy consistency.

PREPARATION

Melt white chocolate and brown chocolate using double boil method.

Then pour the melted chocolate on the silicone ice cube tray (pour only 1/8 of the tray).

For Chess king, I made impression of the king on the chapati dough to make king mould ( I made 2 mould using two kings).

Then pour the melted brown chocolate and refrigerated to set

Then unmould , all the squares and king carefully.

Glue the two halves of the king together using melted chocolate.

Now it’s time for arrangements.

ARRANGING CHESS BOARD

Slice the cakes vertically.

Arrange the chocolate cake and vanilla cake alternately.

Make sure to get square chess board size for that measure the length of the square chocolate piece and multiply by 8 to get total chessboard length.

Now the cake is ready for frosting.

Frost the cake with peanut butter frosting and spread evenly.
