Accidental chocolate cake - dairy free

 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. So instead of a lovely chocolate glaze to compliment my lovely orange cakes, I was left with a syrup.  Which I had no idea what to do with.  As a syrup it's great, I just don't really need any chocolate syrup at the moment.

Then left it too cool before scooping out the flesh.  I made the scones this morning, the only variation I made too my original recipe was too switch the ground cinnamon for Mixed Spice.  They tasted even better than I remembered.  I plan to try them out on some friends to see if the pass the taste test with full fat dairy lovers.
