Back to recipes, today we have a very old school chocolate biscuit cake, taken from one of my mum’s oldest cook books. It is actually to die for. My Mum made it for Olive’s 3rd birthday and I didn’t get a look in, it was the quickest I have seen a cake go at a birthday party. Easy no bake recipe, and one the kids can enjoy getting involved in.
