‘It’s Macmillan’s annual World’s Biggest Coffee Morning (coffee. macmillan.org.uk) on Friday, 30 September and this is the perfect cake to serve. It’s a guaranteed crowd-pleaser with a feather-light coffee sponge filled with fluffy vanilla cream and topped with an indulgent chocolate ganache. Just add the coffee of your choice and enjoy!’
