Its here..... the solution to choosing what type of cake you fancy eating.
This cake gives you everything in one; vanilla, coffee, chocolate and chocolate fudge ganche icing. Believe me, it's irresistible.
Thankfully, I had a couple nieces who spotted it and instantly wanted a piece.

It's perfect for a special occasion such as a birthday celebration or even just a sunday afternoon tea treat with friends or family.
