But sans chocolate sauce.
I must have missed the chocolate sauce I went back to recipe and did not see it. I would leave the icing off as well. This is a labor intensive, very robust combination of cloves and ginger, as much as I like chocolate it will not be missed.
I think the choc and icing were Lucy extras
The Choc perhaps and a good idea. I LOVE chocolate dark chocolate but overpowering. The icing was recipe and just not needed IMO. yummy stuff tho.
Oh, I didn't even read the recipe properly, duhhh

I don't really care much for choc usually, but I have had an Easter egg. I do make a mean choc cake, but don't really eat it myself.
I'm more of a savoury gal.
