My mum suddenly fell in love with this cake and kept buying them for quite some time. That is until I discovered how easy it is to make these. Rather than baking the whole cake, I’ve chosen to make mini versions as it is easier to eat and store. You do lose a bit of creaminess compared to the whole cake because of the size, but it is still delicious and comparable to the ones we bought.
Do give this a try and let me know how it turns out.
