We just can't get enough chocolate! No surprise then that a “moist” chocolate cake tops the list of a recent, fun survey (nothing too scientific) by @WWTaste on Instagram. In the post, followers were asked to rank their fave Taste cake recipes.
And interesting that a no-bake cheesecake with a swirl of blueberries comes in a close second. Carrot cake, my kind of baked treat, comes third. And it's good to see a simple vanilla cake in fourth, the pistachio icing a surprise — the nuts, though expensive, do add a unique flavour. Yet good old lemon drizzle cake, a cinch to make, takes fifth spot.
And because spring has sprung and we’ve welcomed warmer weather, the season marks the arrival of a bounty of blueberries — cue large, fat, delicious and affordable nuggets.
Here is Taste magazine’s recipe for the cheesecake.
