 Mini Chocolate Loaf cake How too accidentally make a cake?   I accidentally made mini chocolate loaf cakes today.   It was an accident, as Id originally planned to test a chocolate glaze recipe.  Which didn't really turn out as Id expected.  Instead of a chocolate glaze, it looked and tasted more like a chocolate syrup. I'm not even a fan of chocolate cake!!! I prefer to pair it with other flavour's,  like my Dairy free Orange cup cakes.   Ironically Id made the cupcakes, to use up some egg yolks left over from making meringues.
