While the cake is cooked, make your chocolate sauce. Place the butter in a saucepan with the cream and bring to a boil. Turn off heat and add the chopped chocolate in a saucepan. Give all a good stir, then leave for 5 minutes for the hot cream can melt the chocolate. Add a touch of the desired alcohol and stir until well blended.
To check if the cake is done, give a little jiggle, and if it does not wobble too much as it is done, if not, take a few minutes in the oven.
Once ready, pour the hot chocolate sauce over the cake and share a plate or serve two small plates with a dollop of vanilla ice cream or cream. Delicious!
