I made a yummy chocolate and vanilla dessert today. It was so much work though so I really felt I earned ever mouthful in the end :-)
CHOCOLATE SAUCE
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup of cocoa
- 2 1/2 cups sugar
- 1 1/2 cups water
- 1 tsp vanilla essence
Method
- Bring all the ingredients to the boil in a saucepan for approximately 2 minutes
CAKE
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups self raising flour
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup milk
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla essence
- 3/4 cup cocoa
- 80g margarine
- Preheat your oven to 180C and lightly grease 2 pans
- Add butter and sugar in a bowl and mix well
- Add the flour, eggs, vanilla essence and milk and mix
- Pour half of the mix in one of the prepared baking pans
- Add the cocoa to the left over batter, mix well and pour into the second pan
- Bake for approximately 25 minutes
- Once cakes have cooled, take them out the pans and place on a chopping board
- Using a cooking cutter, cut out a few shapes (I got six out of each cake)
- I started with the vanilla first and then added a bit of the chocolate sauce and then did the same with the chocolate cake
- Another layer of vanilla cake and chocolate sauce
- I iced the entire thing with creamed cottage cheese and icing sugar and dusted with cocoa powder
