Star chef Peter Gilmore sets the bottom three contestants a Pressure Test, where they are required to replicate his eight layer texture chocolate cake.

Hatted star chef of the year Peter Gilmore sets the bottom three contestants, TK, Lydia and Wade, a complicated Pressure Test where they are required to replicate his eight layer texture chocolate cake. The person who cooks the worst version will go home.

TK, Wade and Lydia faced a Peter Gilmore challenge: Quay's Eight Texture Chocolate Cake. They had three and a half hours to prepare the various complicated layers, which included a chocolate mousse, a chocolate and hazelnut dacquoise, a caramel, vanilla and chocolate ganache, a tempered chocolate disc and a warm chocolate sauce. Each of the contestants worked well under pressure, systematically tackling each component (although TK initially chose to disregard the order of steps provided) and having enough time to assemble the cake. In the end, TK recovered well to produce the best replication of Gilmore's dish, and while Wade was let down by his presentation it was Lydia's curdled cream that sealed her elimination.
