I made this last weekend to bring to a, for lack of a better word, dinner party (but is only 4 people a party?). The cake was from Nigella Lawson's cookbook, Feast. The custard sauce was from her cookbook entitled How to be a Domestic Goddess. The cake was excellently moist and chocolaty. I was going to serve it as a whole cake, but I changed my mind and cut it into cubes. Because I did that, I really needed to serve it with something. So, I made the custard sauce, which is just to say creme anglaise. I just served it with some fresh strawberries. YUM!
What is great about this is it travels well. I put the cake cubes in one tupperware and the custard in another. And brought a pint of strawberries. Just serve in three separate bowls and let everyone take what they want.
P.S. Sorry, I completely forgot to take a picture!
P.P.S. Don't listen to Nigella about using plastic wrap to line the pan...use parchment instead. The plastic melted a bit (I know she says it won't, mine did, perhaps the plastic wrap she uses is more heat resistant than mine.) It was a nightmare to clean off my lovely loaf pan.
