White Chocolate and Raspberry Sponge Cake
This is a twist on a classic sponge cake. When cooked slowly the white chocolate melts into the mixture and provides a delicately flavoured sponge. The raspberry flakes add a lovely combination making this sponge very truly delicious.
This has been decorated with white chocolate fudge icing and Maltesers
