Our world at the moment could benefit from more kindness. Mamma Marmalade kindly gifted me a hamper of goodies including her Beloved Mother's Chocolate cake recipe This recipe is very special to her family because it was a regular favourite when her Grandchildren visited. I was touched to receive this gift and made it with my own Grandchildren in loving memory of a very special and generous woman I I hope you enjoy making and enjoying - recipes shared are so very special ..... Love.
