    Because I'm all about that cake, no biscuits!

    I have made my husband and child the ULTIMATE chocolate cake for their Birthdays so let's discuss cake, what do you like? Do you bake?

    I'm a sucker for cherry and almond cake!

    Not really a big cake eater but lemon cheesecake is one I do like every so often

    Don't eat cake these days but used to love any form of chocolate cake (my mum made some delicious ones with cream and chocolate icing).

    I have the most amazing recipe for chocolate fudge cake which makes it's own choc fudge sauce as it cooks....
    Lemon drizzle, coffee and walnut, chocolate, a good old victoria sponge with cream and strawberries.... Too many to choose from.....
    Do a little of something that makes you happy every day!

    So I'm going to need the recipe for this please.

    The "ultimate" chocolate cake, is chocolate sponge batter (made with 50% light brown sugar 50% caster for a fudgier taste) with white and dark chocolate chips mixed in. With chocolate buttercream in the middle (also with white/dark chocolate chips stuffed in), then more chocolate buttercream on the top and 8 miniture heroes/celebrations on the top! Want to know the best bit Suzi? It's almost dairy free, the white chocolate ships and celebrations aren't but the rest is! (I'm too used to dairy free baking to change to anything else now!)

    I have to admit (because I never usually give myself any credit) I am an awesome baker. I make a mean choc fudge cake, Victoria sponge, coffee cake, raspberry and coconut cake, carrot cake, lemon drizzle cake, coffee and walnut cake, choc orange and peppermint choc cakes, bakewell tart and neopolitan cupcakes!

    My signature would be a Victoria sponge and my other no cook treat would be chocolate truffles. The only cooking they need is to melt the chocolate.
    But having said that my favourite to eat would be chocolate fudge cake.
