The February 2009 challenge is hosted by Wendy of WMPE’s blog and Dharm of Dad ~ Baker & Chef.
We have chosen a Chocolate Valentino cake by Chef Wan; a Vanilla Ice Cream recipe from Dharm and a Vanilla Ice Cream recipe from Wendy as the challenge.

February’s challenge is a Flourless Chocolate Cake, Chocolate Valentino, inspired by Malaysia’s “most flamboyant food ambassador”, Chef Wan. Recipe comes from Sweet Treats by Chef Wan

I used dark chocolate and flavoured the cake with butterscotch schnapps and then made a passionfruit and vanilla icecream . oh myyy this is a super fudgy delicious cake. Its a rich chocolate flourless cake with a really fudgy texture and a brownie texture on the outside. I made a small one and a large one , this was the small one that I used for the picture , my darling man and I really enjoyed this for our dessert after dinner
