Triple Chocolate Cake
Preparation Time: 15 minutes
Cooking Time: 45 minutes
Serves: 8 – 10 people
This is a reliable chocolate cake to add to your Passover repertoire. It oozes chocolate with every bite ~ your chocoholic guests will be delighted. I serve it during Passover as part of a grand afternoon tea or as a dessert with extra strawberries. It freezes well, so make a double batch and freeze one for later as you know they want another one very soon !
To vary the recipe try adding some chopped dates to the mixture.
