drinking 'chocolate' by quietpurplehaze

drinking 'chocolate'

from Neil's wine rack.

Not featured here is the chocolate cake which I concocted a couple of days ago with today's word in mind. Here's the recipe anyway:

Chocolate cake with chocolate and ginger chunks
4 oz SR flour
1 oz cocoa powder
(sieved together)
4 oz soft marge
4 oz caster sugar
2 med/large eggs
Put all ingredients into bowl and mix together well.

Chop 10-12 squares of dark cooking choc and 3-4 pieces stem ginger and add to mixture, plus a little syrup from ginger jar.

Mix again and put into an 8ins diameter greased and lined cake tin.

Bake approx 30 mins in a moderate oven (325/160)
Uhm yummy. Thanks for including the recipe.

Love your chocolate shot. Looks like a lovely gutsy one. The cake sounds yummy. Love ginger and chocolate but better not make it as I am trying to stick to my 'healthy' diet, started on 1st Feb once the Christmas chocs were all gone!!!!

Hazel - thank you and well done for doing a healthy diet - I can't really even think of trying! Yes, it's one of our favourite wines.

Thank you very much - it was a bit tricky getting what I wanted off the label into the photo!

Thank you everybody. The cake is nice (just a bit left here!) and I suppose you could make it even naughtier by putting chocolate icing on top!!!

Clever idea focussing in on the chocolatey wine label! Nicely done too! As for the choc cake - sounds very good and rather sophisticated - but can't consider making it as I am off choc in a big way after the dreaded choc-butter-cream icing on the Treasure Chest cake .... had to sample it a lot as I went along ...

@pyrrhula

If I had to choose, I guess I'd go for the wine, too. And for the cheese!

@sheilag @ness50 Thank you for views and comments. It was a choice to make between pic of wine label and pic of chocolate cake! (So including the recipe included them both.)
