Wine Tip
Prosecco, 2012
This fizzy and delicate sparkling wine lends a lightness to this dessert. It underscores the rich flavor of the cake and allows the chocolaty aromas to reveal themselves even more.
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 180°C/ 350°F. Roughly chop couverture. Cut butter into small pieces. Next, melt both together with sugar in the microwave at 600Watt for approx 2 – 3 min.
