<p>This was one seriously sweet dessert! Sweet pastry, layered with sliced bananas resting on toffee sauce, covered in cream and then toffee swirls and cocoa for decoration.</p>
<p>Although this was a little too rich for me personally, it was an excellent example of a great banoffee pie, so if you&#8217;re an afficionado definitely something to try.</p>

<p>I love the cake counter at Belle &#038; Herbs. The only problem is there&#8217;s generally so many things I want that I can&#8217;t decide.</p>
<p>
No such problem today. Anything titled &#8220;Dark Chocolate Mousse Cake&#8221; is pretty much guaranteed to get my attention.</p>
<p>
And it was wonderful. To be honest, there was definitely more Chocolate Mousse than Cake, and it&#8217;s not light, but that&#8217;s what I loved about it and it wins hands down on the happy feeling afterwards. I&#8217;m definitely gonna have to have this again!</p>

<p>I don&#8217;t tend to be a big fan of cake. It&#8217;s often too sickly sweet for me, so I tend to pass. This time, however, since <a href="http://www.ellythompson.co.uk">Elly</a> was dead keen on the <a href="http://blog.ilovebelleandherbs.co.uk/2005/10/08/chocolate-cake/#utm_source=feed&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=feed">chocolate cake</a>, I thought I&#8217;d try this lemon curd layer cake.</p>
<p>
I was very very pleasantly surprised. It was moist and just the right balance of tangy and sweet. Refreshing and delicious!</p>

<p>I usually try to resist looking at the cakes on the way into Belle and Herbs, as I know if I do look then I&#8217;ll just end up eating cake. I didn&#8217;t manage today as there was someone else looking as we walked in the door. Having seen this, rather decadent looking, chocolate cake, I knew I had to leave room for a slice.</p>
<p>And I&#8217;m so glad I did coz it&#8217;s &#8216;da bomb&#8217;!</p>
