Notes
You can find the chocolate sauce recipe here: https://foodwishes.blogspot.com/2012/03/easy-homemade-chocolate-sauce-i-really.html Substitution for self raising flour – to get 1 cup self-raising flour, add 1½ tsp baking powder+ ¼ tsp salt to 1 cup all purpose flour. (source: https://www.joyofbaking.com/IngredientSubstitution.html) Substitution for caster sugar: to get 1 cup caster sugar. process 1 cup granulated sugar (usual sugar) in a food processor/mixer until fine, but don’t powder it like icing sugar. (source: https://www.joyofbaking.com/IngredientSubstitution.html) The cake has a cracked crust like the brownies. I only made half the qty. I used a 5½ inch square tin to make half the qty. I baked mine for 25 mins. You can store this in air tight container at room temperature for 3-4 days. I used Lindt Swiss dark chocolate. You can use semi sweet baking chocolate also. Baking time may vary for each oven and also according to the size of baking tin used.
