If you are on the lookout for a moist but not too rich, chocolate cake,  try this recipe – it’s Kathy Paterson’s ‘go-to’ chocolate birthday cake and she has shared it with us! The inspired chocolate topping is a variation on the accomplished baker, Julie Le Clerc’s recipe. Try using honey or even maple syrup to give the topping an extra glossy finish.

A stunning dessert cake that relies on tart lemons to really show it off and sings when accompanied by a good scoop of PURE New Zealand Lemon Curd Ice Cream.
