Chocolate Sauce

I knew many parents wouldn't like their kids to taste rum sauce. so i made chocolate sauce as a topping for the muffins. this recipe is great for choco lovers. i also make chocolate cake in the cake tin that bakes it with a hole in the centre (what do you call it??). and i pour the chocolate sauce on it haphazard and let it dribble carelessly. it looks awesome and the kids here love it. i've made a couple of them and they call it the doughnut cake. i don't have a picture of it though :( this is how you make it.

milk-1/2 cup
powdered sugar-1/2 cup
cornflour-1 tbsp
cocoa powder-1 tbsp
butter-1 tbsp
dash of instant coffee powder (i use nescafe).

Boil all of it together and shut off when it thickens after boiling. over the cake you got to pour it hot. you can serve it cold with muffins, either way.

Rum Sauce

I've tried a couple of sauces but this one stands out. you taste paradise. it's so good. all my friends who tasted this have drooled over it. and it was a perfect dribble on the plain muffin. so easy to make too. here we go.

1/2 cup granulated sugar
3 tbsp cold water
2 cups heavy cream
1/4 rum

Cook the sugar and water in a saucepan. stir continuously till sugar dissolves. without stirring, continue to cook over low heat until deep golden brown. set aside to cool for 5 mins. bring the cream to a boil in a separate saucepan. return the caramel to heat and beat in the cream. remove from the heat and add the rum. this makes one generous cup and you can keep for one or two days. if you don't have heavy cream, use light cream and refrigerate the mix; it becomes moderately viscous but heavy cream is obviously preferable though i've always made with lite cream.
