This week on Cheap vs Steep, Mrs B and I made the exact same chocolate cake twice... once using budget ingredients from Lidl and once using premium ingredients from Waitrose.
As always... same recipe, same quantities but very different price tags. Pushing the ingredients to the max either end for curiosity.
We break down every ingredient cost on screen, reveal the true recipe totals, and then taste test to decide whether the expensive cake is actually worth it.
Does spending over double on butter, eggs and cocoa make a better chocolate cake? Or is chocolate cake just… chocolate cake? Watch to see which one wins.
