    "I made this cake for my son's 2nd birthday party and it was a great success. Cutting it into squares before hand is great when there's loads of hungry kids who don't want to wait while you slice it up - also you can adjust the size accordingly to who's eating it! I made a ganache icing rather than the one in the recipe - heat 284ml double cream until almost boiling and then pour over 200g chopped dark chocolate and stir until smooth and glossy. It sets really well and doesn't run over the edge of the squares making it messy. My eldest son is diabetic and we found that the sponge was great for him as it wasn't too sweet and the wholemeal flour and yoghurt was healthy for everyone. Got loads of compliments and will definitly make again. "
