How to Get Your Cake
Inside Every Slice
What's Inside the Brownie Jewel Box Cake with Belgian Ganache & Chocolate Jewels
Every slice of the Brownie Jewel Box Cake delivers a sensory journey: a dense, fudgy Luxury Brownie™ base made with real Belgian chocolate, layered with smooth chocolate ganache, and wrapped in a crisp, chocolate shell. The cake is then hand-finished with a glossy ganache drizzle, creating a striking texture contrast that melts in the mouth.
The decoration is equally indulgent, raspberry dust adds tartness, golden chocolate gems sparkle on top, and handcrafted chocolate shards studded with roasted hazelnuts and freeze-dried raspberries crown the cake with a satisfying crunch.
From first glance to final bite, this is a chocolate celebration cake designed to impress.
Why You’ll Love It (And They Will Too)
Deep, rich, and wrapped in glossy ganache, this cake is a showstopper that tastes as good as it looks. Whether you're celebrating someone special or treating yourself, it's bold, beautiful, and unapologetically chocolate.
A Philosophy of Chocolate
Crafted by Hand. Layered with Purpose.
At Dello Mano, brownies aren't a side project, they're our origin story. The Brownie Jewel Box Cake is a celebration of everything we believe in: small batch baking, flavour-first thinking, and the joy of creating something with care.
Every element is handmade from the slow-poured Belgian ganache to the final placement of each chocolate jewel. We layer, enrobe, and finish this cake with quiet focus and deep pride. It's not about shortcuts. It’s about creating something that feels generous, thoughtful, and deliciously personal.
Helpful details
the science behind the slice
The Brownie Jewel Box Cake is more than a visual spectacle, it's a carefully engineered balance of texture, flavour, and structure. From the dense, fudgy crumb to the smooth ganache and crisp chocolate coating, every element has a purpose. In this section, we explore the baking science that brings this decadent cake to life, including why brownies behave differently from sponge cakes, how ganache firms and sets, and how texture layering enhances taste. Whether you're a food science enthusiast or just love a deep chocolate moment, here’s a behind-the-scenes look at what makes each slice so special.
Fudgy brownies, like those in our Brownie Jewel Box Cake, rely on a high fat-to-flour ratio. That means more butter and chocolate, and less flour, which keeps the texture dense and rich. Unlike cakey brownies, which often include baking powder or extra eggs for lift, fudgy brownies skip or minimise these leavening agents. The result? A moist, chewy crumb that melts in your mouth, the perfect base for a luxurious layered cake.
Curious about the difference? Explore our guide to cakey vs fudgy brownies for the full story.
Chocolate ganache is a smooth emulsion of cream and chocolate. The ratio of these two ingredients determines how soft or firm it becomes. In our Brownie Jewel Box Cake, we use a thicker ganache between layers for structure, and a slightly softer version for the final drip. As the ganache cools, the cocoa butter in the chocolate solidifies, helping it set into a glossy, stable finish. It’s both functional and beautiful, creating those luscious layers and that signature shine.
Flavour isn’t just about taste, it’s also about texture. A firm chocolate coating provides contrast to the soft brownie and smooth ganache, making each bite more dynamic and satisfying. Scientifically, our brains enjoy contrast: firm + soft, rich + delicate. That outer ganache coating also helps seal moisture inside the cake, preserving freshness and giving the cake its jewel-box appearance. It’s where texture, function, and indulgence meet.
Not only do these toppings add bursts of flavour and crunch, but they also help maintain the cake’s quality over time. Freeze-dried raspberries have very low moisture content, which means they won’t make the cake soggy. Similarly, roasted hazelnuts are low in water and high in flavour, making them ideal for decoration. These elements are carefully chosen to be stable, so you get vibrancy, texture, and elegance without compromising the cake’s longevity.

Coming Soon
To enjoy your brownie cake at its best, remove it from the fridge about 20 minutes before serving. Allowing the cake to come to room temperature gives the real butter and chocolate time to relax, enhancing flavour, texture, and mouthfeel.
Always store your cake in the fridge, sealed or covered to retain moisture. If you have leftovers (lucky you), they’ll keep beautifully for several days (depending on storage conditions) when refrigerated in an airtight container.
For clean, elegant slices, use a sharp knife dipped in hot water, and wipe the blade between each cut.
If your mudcake is just out of the fridge, let it sit for 20 minutes so it softens slightly. This makes slicing easier and ensures the best flavour and texture in every bite.
A cake this beautiful deserves your best plate, because thoughtful touches elevate the experience.
The Brownie Jewel Box Cake is made to impress, ideal for birthdays, anniversaries, client thank-yous, or any moment that deserves something extra. Its luxurious layers and jewel-like finish make it a perfect celebration centrepiece or a decadent gift delivery in Brisbane, Gold Coast or Sunshine Coast.
