Dessert Lesson 1: Choco cake + choco sauce and cherries
Ingredients:
The choco cake this time was bought from the store near my house. its the sauce that made a difference and attracted me to the recipe in the 1st place. :)
For the chocolate sauce
- 1 tablespoon butter
- Good-quality dark chocolate (70% cocoa solids), broken into small pieces
- Hershey's choco syrup
- 1 splash brandy, rum, Amaretto or Baileys
- Melt the butter in a pan
- remove off flame, put the dark choco into it and melt it. i used lindt dark choco (the white wrapper packet)
- once the lindt is melted, for extra taste add hershey's choco syrup
- last but not the least, a teaspoon of kahlua and the sauce is ready.
- cut the choco cake pieces and spread a generous amount of the sauce on it.
- add a tang with berrys (any) on the top, gets great appreciation! :D
A few basic things to remember:
- if the sauce becomes thick, heat it and add water to make it thin and flow.
- just melt the butter else it will taste burnt
- use your judgement on your favourite chocolate to make the sauce.
