You'll find the recipe below in both metric & cups. Whilst the cake is baking prepare the chocolate sauce by combining all the ingredients in a bowl set over a simmering pan of water
Apart from the cake being chocolate I didn't know what else to do to it so a couple of days before the event I was stood in the chocolate aisle in Asda willing for some inspiration to come to me
Chocolate honeycomb pieces (I got a bag from Asda). I feel sad about it as CCC was a massive part of my life for so long and without it I wouldn't have had a recipe published, had some fantastic opportunities and most of all met some wonderful people that I now class as dear friends
When I saw the M&Ms on a recent shopping trip in Walmart (ASDA), I immediately envisioned making the Captain America shield out of the blue and red M&Ms
If you wanna give it a try, Almondy’s Daim Gluten Free ChocolateCake is currently stocked in the freezer aisle of most Tescos as well as Asda, Booths, Budgens, Morrisons and Sainsbury’s
Aswell as making cupcakes I also attempted some chocolate covered pretzels. I know my blog has been very food heavy this week but as it's been National Chocolate Week, I thought it would fun to just post only recipes and foodie posts, I had so many I wanted to share
They can be made with a variety of cakes and fillings – try chocolatecake with nutella, vanilla sponge with strawberry frosting or carrot cake with cream cheese frosting – they’re essentially cake pops without the lolly stick
The filling is made from Marshmallow Fluff (the stuff of gods), which you can buy online from Ocado, but more recently I've found that ASDA stocks it too =)
Before deciding on the cake flavour I checked out what jars of spreads Asda had on their website while I was doing a "fill the freezer and hospital snack bag" shop last week and spotted a jar of white chocolate spread
To bind them I added a couple of tablespoons of cream cheese frosting (also with blue colouring) then gently folded in the white chocolate stars (mine were from Asda)
