Chocolate Cake
This chocolate sponge sandwich cake really is delicious and is my favourite. The recipe is my Grandma Kay's and we were very happy to find it the other day. I remember my family consider, Pepsi Collectibles and friends used to fight over pieces of this cake!
It's especially tasty when you can get a really good quality dark chocolate spread to use in the butter cream topping.
The recipe uses bicarbonate of soda instead of eggs. So it can also be eaten by vegans, or those avoiding eggs. You can also use gluten-free flour if you wish.
