Thank god for chocolate cake! Chocolate cake ticks all the boxes that all good comfort food should and this one not only ticks the chocolate box, the cake box, it also ticks the booze box. It is so rich, dark and moist and served with the muscovado and malt cream would…
Chocolate Layer Cake
I wasn’t going to add this recipe, it is a great chocolate cake, but I do have so many cakes already on here. I did think it would be fine to just keep it in the magazine and fish it out when I needed it, but I have baked it…
