Dessert Lesson 1 - Choco Cake with Choco Sauce


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
How to make:
  • 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 
People come back for 2nds!! thanks friends!! :)  

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.
