1. Moist chocolate farmhouse cake from The Alchemist

An incredibly grown up chocolate farmhouse cake that gets it's needs-no-icing-moistness from - would you believe it - potatoes! Yep, it's a chocolate potato cake!

A fabulously decadent cake that is full of cream - in both the cake & icing - and covered in two of my favourite childhood chocolates, Kit Kat bars and Maltesers which I think are similar to Whoppers in the USA.
