This is my absolute favourite cake recipe ever! It's so easy to make, and absolutely delicious, without being overpowering! I originally found it in mum's cook book. I even tricked my boyfriend into eating it.. and now he's not so skeptical about gluten free foods! Lovely!
being a chef for many years , what is lacking in the recipes book are books that cater for 50 servies or 100 servies i canot find any bok on the market why doesant w.w produce a book of this nature it would be a great seller ,i think the book should go back to basic with main soups and desserts . or do you know of a book on the market thanks .
I usually manage to stuff up most things that I make because I have a terrible oven, but this work out perfectly. It was rich and moist and absolutely delicious. My other half unfortunately doesn't really like dark chocolate so it wasn't to his taste, I on the other hand looooved it.
beautifully moist ,very rich, can easily serve 10, keeps extremely well
whoa how great is this cake easy to make and not to many ingredients
IT LOOKS AND SOUNDS YUM, AND NOT TOO HARD TO MAKE.
It looks really yum, and not too hard to make.

Strength training for women; the secret to an amazing body at any ageStrength training does not make you 'big'. To get big muscles you need to train a lot, very hard and with very heavy weights and you also need testosterone. This is hard enough for men and extremely difficult for women...
