mmm...tunis cake!

Does anyone else remember Tunis Cake? I don't mean the poor copies now sold at Christmas by the supermarkets, but the original McVities one that we used to have years ago? Anyway, Holly and I found a recipe and made an attempt at making our own. Pouring the chocolate onto the top to set was fun, and Holly spent ages making the marzipan fruits. (Two have been eaten already). Tunis cake means it must be nearly Christmas!

I've never heard of Tunis cake but it does look delicious - anything with chocolate and marzipan fruits on it has got to be good in my book!
Merry Christmas!

Oh MY! Where have I BEEN?? I've never heard of this delicious sounding confection, but I'll be googling a recipe and making some for myself in the future! Yours looks very lovely.
