Chocolate Raspberry cake

Chocolate & Raspberry Chocolate Cake

This chocolate cake is a chocolate lovers dream. A rich tender moist sponge sandwiched together with raspberry jam and covered in a lush shiny chocolate ganache icing. This cake is a particular joy for those who struggle with icing cakes, and I do include myself in that category, due to its easy icing. The icing is just a matter of warming together a little cream and golden syrup and stirring in chopped chocolate and allowing it to melt into the cream and pouring over the cake. Check out the recipe below.

Salted chocolate tart

Recipe of the Day; Salted Chocolate Tart

One for the chocolate lovers. This tart is very easy to make due to using oaty biscuits in the base rather than having to make pastry. I use a combo of chocolates a little dark and a little milk. I used to make it simply with dark, but some found it too rich. The milk brings a balance to the filling that everyone loves. Check out the recipe below.

By the time the spaghetti is cooked everything else will be ready to go meaning that you can have dinner on the table in 10 minutes. I hope you enjoy the recipe and have a great weekend.

Recipe of the Day: Maple French Toast

French toast has to be right up there with my all time favourite breakfast. Squidgy eggy bread that is fried in butter until toasted on the outside and still soft and spongy within. This particular inclination also has a subtle sweet smoky note from the inclusion of maple syrup in the egg mixture and naturally more added at the end too.
