Rocky Road Cake

 

 

 

 

This is one of my best chocolate cakes I have made.

It's rich, moist and so chocolately, it's a cake that fits perfectly for any chocoholic.

 

I made this for my friend Claire who is celebrating her 30th!

And she still looks the same as the first day I met her.

 

Hope she has a great birthday party this weekend!

 

Happy Birthday Claire!
