Directions
Devonshire Chocolate Sponge, This unusual cake has been a big hit with our guests here at ‘Avalon’ It’s not a large cake but it’s rich and moist and the topping/filling is bittersweet A chocolate cake more suited to adult taste – although my 2 year old great-nephew ate it with gusto and pronounced it, ‘Yummmm!’ Decorate it, if possible, with fresh edible flowers from your garden use violets The recipe is from a book called ‘Devonshire Flavour’ which I bought whilst I was living in Devon in 1979 – and it’s taken me this long to discover this terrific cake , Everybody liked it, when I served it in our home Wonderful! Next time I might double the amount of everything and make it full size cake, a big one Thank you for this recipe!
