This recipe is what happens when you are trying to stay sane with a half crazed 5 year old running amok and a Miss 3 who just won’t let go of your leg. Essentially, it was a combination of whatever ingredients were in the cupboard and a few random things that Miss 3 wanted to eat at that very moment. There is the Too Easy Chocolate Cake recipe in the EDC which is quite easy and well……a little plain.
So, rather than just give her a bowl full of frozen berries and a handful of choc chips, we decided to put them into the Too Easy Chocolate Cake recipe and make some mini cakes – just the right size for a tea party, with what appeared to be a hoard of stuffed bears and slightly scary dolls.
