About Me!

Hi, thanks for stopping by, my name is Anna Kosti and I am 18 years old. I live in Larnaca, Cyprus, with my family and I am still going to high school. I fell in love with baking since the age of 9! I started with simple recipes to making complicated and fascinating desserts. I am planning to join university next year, overseas, to become a professional pastry chef.

This cake is so simple to make and so delicious! It starts off with a chocolate peppermint chocolate sponge and it’s topped with a rich dark chocolate peppermint ganache! make sure to give this recipe a try especially during Christmas time!!

My favourite part of this cake is how moist and rich it is. It’s the perfect dessert for Christmas.

This recipe is not just delicious but its super easy to make! I usually make this cake during the holidays when my family and friends come over.

You can decorate it with Christmas sprinkles and even some piped buttercream.

This cake lasts for about 4-5 days in the fridge or at room temperature in an airtight container.

It’s the perfect Christmas recipe with a secret hint of peppermint. Make sure to try it.
