As most of you may know, I live in a house with my two lovely friends - Flick and Rose (yes another Rose – just to make life harder for Flick). We are lucky enough to be house sitting in a great big three bedroom and bathroom beautiful house on the water – tough gig, hey. Life is pretty sweet. One of the many advantages of our giant house is loads and loads of kitchen cupboard space, and so we invented the naughty cupboard.
To be invited to our house there are three things one must like: wine, cheese and chocolate. Our naughty cupboard is stacked with copious wine, crackers and chocolate. It is true to say that these three things can always be found in our kitchen, even when other more essential things are needed. However after Easter, there was a little too much chocolate, it was everywhere. The naughty cupboard started to resemble the confectionary aisle of woolies.
After a good week of too many treats and chocolate of all sorts, we decided it was time to get it out of sight and out of mind. We chose a good old fashioned chocolate cake to bake. We pulled it out of the oven just in time to attain a gooey brownie texture in the middle. It was served with vanilla bean ice cream and raspberries creating the perfect hot/cold combination. Amazing on a dreary cold Sydney night!
Ps - the 'naughty cup board' was replenished the following week
