Cocoa cake with raspberry cream is a delicious cake that resulted from a partnership between Fidu and the Cake Design store Açúcar Encantado.

The result was a spectacular cake in both taste and appearance. It seems impossible, but this cake does not have the 14 main allergens, gluten, lactose and is suitable for vegan diets.
