Description

A perfect cake to accompany a coffee, to slip into the lunchbox or for unexpected entertaining. My boys often ask me for it, because they love its mix of chocolate and vanilla - and it freezes very well in slices. I slip baking paper between each piece and store them in an upturned tin. No more crushed slices - just enough when you need it.
