Spiced chocolate cake
I found this recipe in Sainsburys magazine and it's perfect if you're a bit sick of mince pies/boxes of chocolates/Christmas cake but still want to indulge your sweet tooth. The spices with the chocolate are a winning combination and the cake tastes quite like German Lebkuchen, which can be nothing but a good thing!
The recipe can be found here.
Here's how mine turned out!
The cake is a lovely way of extending the festive season, and my family have discovered that it tastes even better warmed up with cream, not least because the chocolate icing melts a little...
Go get cake making!
