This 10 minute dessert serves 8 people.
This was the first time I made this recipe and yum I am impressed. I wasn't too sure about the success of it but the end result looks as good as it tastes. It took me 10 minutes to prepare and only cost $0.55 cents per person. I ate this cake as a snack for afternoon tea but you could also serve it up for dessert with some of your favourite custard or cream.
