Yesterday we had some friends over for dinner, the boys requested chocolate cake and ice-cream and i think I was on a left over master chef high or something cause this was the concoction I came up with. I macerated some dried pitted prunes in blood orange juice with some ginger and brandy essence- the real thing would have been much better. Then I tipped off the juice and pureed the prunes added them to the mix and put in butter milk instead of plain milk.
The result.. Somewhere bwtn a rich chocolate cake and a smooth fruit cake. I think some orange rind and real brandy would have made it even better.
Sbastian just announced as we are polishing it off. It was the best chocolate cake and he wants to eat 3 bits, that'll keep him regular!
