ATTENTION CHOCOLATE LOVERS. You are about to be in chocolate heaven with this slice! Everyone and we mean EVERYONE, wanted a piece of this when it came out of the oven.

It is the best when served warm, with a drizzle of pure cream, but if that is not possible, don’t fret as it is still pretty darn good eaten cold.

Another additive-free recipe which is simple to make and is such a crowd pleaser. It freezes really well so you can make it up in advance if need be. To heat up – allow to defrost first and then either zap each piece for a few seconds in the microwave or place back into the oven for a few minutes.
