If you go weak in the knees for warm, chocolatey, buttery flavours – this recipe is definitely one for you.
It’s a cake that seduces - rather than shouts from the hilltops. It has a soft squidgy coconut base infused with vanilla and caramel. And if that weren’t already enough, It’s topped with a generous layer of fudgey chocolate ganache that sends the whole wonderful thing heavenwards. Read more

But I’m relieved and happy to announce this luxurious low carb version won the day. It really is a magnificent beast. Super-tasty too. And perfect for a late Summer treat.
