Favourite recipe

My favourite recipe is anything with chocolate in it. Be it Brownies, chocolate cup cakes and chocolate cake. There is one I particularly like which is gluten free as all my recipes have to be and it’s from Nigella Lawson. Her Chocolate and Almond cake. It’s lush. It really hits the spot if you’re craving something sweet and chocolatey.
