Fudgy layers and a luscious filling makes this bake simply irresistible – whether it’s your birthday or notBeing a twin, I’ve always shared a birthday cake. Each year, I ask my sister what I should bake and the answer is almost never chocolate, despite it being one of my favourite cake flavours. However, this year, I’ll be changing that and making this lovely, fudgy two-layer chocolate cake filled and topped with a luscious, malty buttercream that I could eat by the spoonful.

4 h. ago ‘Our songs last three minutes but they feel like an hour’: the return of Spinal Tap – an exclusive that goes up to 11!

Over 40 years since This is Spinal Tap was mistaken for a comedy, its hard-rocking subjects are back in a legally obligated sequel.

Cecilie Fjellhøy fell victim to Simon Leviev, who would become known to the masses as the Tinder Swindler via a 2022 Netflix documentary of the same name. She lent $200,000 to a man she met online and considered her boyfriend, who appeared to be (and she did her due Google diligence) a billionaire member of the Leviev Israeli diamond dynasty. In fact, his real name was Shimon Hayut and his apparent wealth came from a string of women he had previously dated and defrauded. The film was nominated for five Emmys, is said to be Netflix’s most watched documentary, and the title has since become a byword for online scammers who practise manipulative and emoti...
