birthday dessert
We finally celebrated my husband’s birthday with his family; well, we were only about a month late!
For his birthday he requested one of his favorite desserts. Angel Food Cake. I thought it would be nice served with a sauce of some kind, so we weren’t eating plain cake. This Chocolate Espresso Sauce turned out to be just perfect! It’s easy, chocolaty, and super yummy. I also like it that it isn’t a cream-based sauce.
I served the Chocolate Espresso Sauce over Birthday Angel Food Cake, and it was delish! With the leftover sauce, I stirred it into some almonds and cashews, for a chocolate-nut treat that I ate while we watched some 80’s movie! It was super yummy both ways. It would also be great over ice cream, or a little drizzle over fruit or pie would be lovely as well.
And, if the use of corn syrup bothers you, remember that they do sell {affiliate link} organic corn syrup. I really like the light vanilla flavor of this one.
With that, I bring you this easy and yummy dessert Sauce.

Yum! I’ve never seen organic corn syrup before, but now I’m totally intrigued. Chocolate and espresso have a natural affinity for one another -it’s so bizarre, but they make each other better, if that makes sense. Hehe. Love it! I want this on all of my desserts this summer. Maybe even my breakfast 😀 Your sauce recipes are always killer, Debi!

This totally looks delicious! I would love to try it over a cake, but I honestly think I’d eat it with all with a spoon, before it got a chance to be on the cake. Definitely got to try this! Thanks for the recipe.
