Australia's best Dairy Dessert - 2008!

We're thrilled to announce that our Flourless Chocolate Truffle Cake won the Highest Scoring Dairy Dessert at the 2008 Australian Dairy Awards! Up against desserts from all over Australia we are thrilled to say that this cake has been a favourite since we introduced it only a couple of years ago. It is made with a flourless chocolate cake base, covered in rich chocolate ganache and covered in chocolate shavings. Put a slice in the microwave for 10 seconds and it becomes a self-saucing flourless chocolate cake.
