CHOCOLATE RIPPLE CAKE

Steps:

• Take a cookie and dunk it quickly in sweet sherry (or smear it with jelly for children) if you wish-this helps speed up the cookies softening.
• spread the smooth side of the cookie thickly with cream and repeat.
• Sandwich the two you have done together and stand them on a plate.
• Repeat this until all the cookies are used and you have formed a"log" of cookies and cream.
• Cover the entire log thickly with more cream and cover loosely with cling wrap before refrigerating for about 8 hours-as I said, the sherry or jelly speeds this up (and I like the added flavour of either) Decorate with grated chocolate, or pipe extra cream around the log before serving.

SOUR CREAM SUGAR COOKIE CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°. In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy, 5-7 minutes. Beat in eggs and vanilla. In another bowl, whisk flour, salt, baking powder and baking soda; add to creamed mixture alternately with sour cream, beating after each addition just until combined. Spread into a greased 13x9-in. baking pan., Bake until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, 20-25 minutes. Cool completely on a wire rack. Spread frosting over top. Decorate with optional toppings as desired.

CHOCOLATE RIPPLE COFFEE CAKE

Steps:

• You can either make a ring shaped cake or a long log or you can make a shorter log using 2 rows of biscuits instead of one--you decide.
• Get a plate or pretty cake platter and put a dab of cream where you want to place your first biscuit.
• Dunk a biscuit in the coffee and then let excess coffee run of it.
• Place the biscuit side up and stand it in the cream dab you put on the plate.
• Dunk another biscuit in the coffee and then lather one side of it with cream, cement it sideways to the first biscuit you placed down.
• Continue in this fashion until you have created a rim of biscuits, or a long log, whatever you decided.
• Now cover the whole cake in the left over cream.
• All of the biscuits must be well smothered in cream, as the cream has to penetrate the biscuit and soften it.
• Place cake in fridge for at least 4 or 5 hours.
• Just before serving place crumbled flake on the top.
• You don't have to dunk the biscuits in the coffee if you don't want it to have a coffee flavour.
• It will still turn out fine.
