Chocolate Ripple Cake - Happy Australia Day

This is more assembly than baking (as in, there's no baking involved whatsoever), but it's still pretty! Plus, I'm lead to believe that this is an Australian recipe, and it's nearly Australia Day :).

The recipe on the packet calls for 500 mL of fresh cream, but I used slightly less than 400mL. I think I was supposed to start with more on the bottom, but I was being cautious in case I ran out partway through the biscuit sandwiching.


Maybe this would be a good dessert for a black and white party! (Apparently that's a thing.)


After setting in the fridge for about 7 hours (the suggested minimum is 6) the cake (aka chocolate biscuits) was getting towards soft, but still a little bit of crunch. If you want it really soft you'd be better off leaving it overnight so the cream can really soak in. But this was good too!


After checking the price of fresh strawberries I opted to defrost a packet of frozen ones to decorate with.


There's no Vegemite in the cake. It's just part of the Australia Day theme I guess.
