Mocha Chocolate Layer Cake
I can’t recall where I found this recipe, but if I remember correctly, I think it was touted as a low calorie cake that you could indulge in without guilt.

It has an unfussy, quick to…

This dessert has luscious pudding, light and airy cake cubes, flecks of chocolate and fresh fruit all mixed into a wonderful combination that is so much more than the individual items could be on their own.
