About

Like a Bounty chocolate bar turned into a layered cake, this is a real centrepiece bake, that can be dressed up or down as much as you like. The sponge is moist and decadent, just how a chocolate cake should be, and the buttercream frosting brings in the real coconut element with just a little texture which gives this cake the wow factor.
