Chocolate cake with caramel is a classic favourite dessert! Quick and easy to make, full of chocolate, and always delicious. Enjoying a vegan or vegetarian version with minor changes is so easy.
Chocolate Cake with caramel, Pomegranate Cream, and Ice-cream
Our sweet chocolate cake is balanced by the natural acidity of the fruit. We suggest adding Messino Pomegranate Balsamic Cream to refresh the classic recipe. The acidity of the pomegranate complements the chocolate lava and light caramel after taste to create a fruity chocolate sin.
