WHAT a fabulous post! The chocolate ripple cake has always been a staple in our family with a slight twist. Mum's biscuits would be dipped in sherry before sandwiching with cream. She'd always make two loaves next to each other as family do's were always big and the desserts were always hoovered up!
And thank you so much for offering the ANZAC loaf. I have a failed ANZAC batch because I wasn't concentrating and placed the sugar in with the butter to melt. I wonder of the chantilly cream would soften the tooth breakers that they became? When I made your recipe last year, my ANZAC's were perfection, so to sneak a success now would be reaffirming.
Thanks Prue. I live these iterations of iconic recipes. I wonder if your well done anzacs might benefit from a little dip in something embellish them. Papa’s only tipple was a sherry but perhaps a quick dip in a Cointreau type tipple would work too,
I remember a friend’s dad dipped butternut snap biscuits in ginger beer , Stone’s I think, and made this ripple cake for dinner parties and kids parties… I know it has alcohol but it was the 70s and we all loved it and thought nothing more than how yummy!
What a recipe. I’m loving the cream cheese addition to this…very yummy and interesting. My husband Matt likes the butternut snap and cream combo - it’s too sweet for me. So, I think this one is definitely worth trying. Great recipe.

Oh hello there’s an idea!! I have a friend who used to make chocolate ripple cake alternating choc and butternut snaps but your story is next level.
Love the use of ANZACs in this recipe Sally (not that we ever have any leftover!).
lol yes well in the past I would have had to hide some here too.
🤣

Thanks Silvia, perhaps a little grate for f orange zest would foil the sweetness🤔
