Cake with icing
Description
A delicious and incredibly chocolatey cake – everyone's dream. This dessert is perfect for festive occasions or for cozy gatherings with friends over a cup of tea. You can make the cake base yourself (I'll explain in the recipe) or buy a ready-made one, such as a sponge cake. Serve with tea or coffee.
