What We’re Eating: Chocolate Raspberry Cake

Image Source: Norm =)

This is the dessert that I made for Norm’s surprise birthday dinner. Super easy, super yum!

CHANGES
I followed the instructions to make 4 instead of 6. We only have 4 custard cups.

SUGGESTIONS
Make sure you don’t eat too much before having this for dessert. It is very filling.

VERDICT
Yummy, but don’t try to have more than one. It taste too good to be good for you.
