I absolutely hate this recipe I followed all the steps and it came out burnt to the crisp and I tried again and still after 8 mins of cooking burnt. I'm sorry to leave such a bad review but I didn't have a good experience with this recipe but therefore it may have been me the chef.

These are a firm favourite whenever I make them and always get requested.

My nana used to put lemon juice in the chocolate icing and it really added that extra zing of flavour to the icing!

If you have a family bake off, this would be the go to. Easy to bake, little to no mess. A super nice treat to enjoy, no icing, dunked in milk once it's warm. Thank you
