Notes

This is my 'go to' Chocolate Cake recipe that I have used before. This version was made into more of a dessert with the addition of raspberries and raspberry coulis. My boy child said they were so good that 'his brain exploded in his head'.

Looks yummy and so easy too. Although, I’ll have to change it to Gluten free flour.

  I often make this cake with Gluten Free Flour and it works a treat.

    I will need to try this with Gluten Free flour as well. Sounds delish though.
