Black Forest Chocolate Ripple Cake

Delicious Black Forest cake with cherries and chocolate on a black plate. Perfect for dessert lovers.

We do love the Traditional Old School Ripple Cake here at Stay at Home Mum.  Mainly because of its ‘Can’t be Assed’ attitude.  Chocolate biscuits + Cream = Cake? 

Sounds like a winning combo to us.  Sure, there is the standard Chocolate Ripple Cake recipe – and that’s good, we like it.  But if you want to up your game and make something a tad schmancier – than why not try this Black Forest Chocolate Ripple Cake version.

Even richer and easier!

Remember that this cake is best made the day before you plan to eat it – this makes the flavour just engulf the biscuits and the cream – delish!
