I made this gorgeous Chocolate & Blueberry Love Cake for my best friend’s 23rd birthday. As we are both entering the second week of the Kayla Itsines challenge (which we are both absolutely loving and highly recommend) I thought it was only suitable to bake something special for the occasion without breaking our healthy diet.
This cake is moist, sweet and full of chocolaty goodness. I also made this batter into cupcakes and fed them to my sister and mother who ‘refused to believe’ it was healthy – I guess I did something right! When you slice the cake, the beautiful purple blueberry cream oozes out and the fluffy cake has yummy blueberries mixed through. Enjoy!
