Michelle Darmody: Chocolate layer cake and a biscuit stack for Mother’s Day

The biscuits are flavoured with caraway, which is a favourite in Eastern Europe, added to everything from rye breads to pickles

This chocolate cake is heaven on a plate. 

Tomorrow is Mother’s Day, and it is always nice to have an excuse to celebrate our mothers, or whoever your guardian might be. 

A note on the chocolate cake, do not worry if your batter looks very runny, it is supposed to be. The long slow bake will firm it up nicely and allow the centre to stay soft and moist.
