Black Forrest Cookie Cake Reicpe

This is the ultimate chocolate ripple cake but with a BIG difference – cherries and jam! Whack it all together and you have an absolutely delicious dessert. It doesn’t need to be perfectly assembled as it will all be hidden under the mountain of cream. You can also make a smaller cake by using only 1 packet of biscuits but if you are making for a group of people – use 2 packets. Enjoy!

Amanda’s goal is to create simple meals that anyone can cook and enjoy without spending hours in the kitchen.
