HOT CHOCOLATE SAUCE OVER POUND CAKE

Hot Chocolate Sauce over Pound Cake image

My mom learned this in Home Ec class way back in the 1930-something. It's been passed down to all the children & grandchildren as a Family Treasure! Don't bother with homemade pound cake for this recipe- the frozen kind works perfectly! You will need a double boiler to make this sauce.

Ingredients

1 cup sugar
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa
1/4 cup generous all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

Fill bottom of double boiler with enough water to fill about 3-4 inches high. In a seperate saucepan, bring another 2 cups of water to boil.
Combine all dry ingredients in top of double boiler, stirring well to remove any lumps. Add enough boiling water to make a thick paste. Stir until smooth.
Place onto the bottom half, over the boiling water. Slowly add 1 1/2 cups boiling water from the other pan. Keep stirring until the water is fully incorporated.
Add the butter, continue to stir while the butter melts into the sauce. Keep stirring another 10-15 minutes, until the sauce thickens to an "unset pudding" consistency. If it thickens too much, feel free to add more boiling water.
When it is as thick as you like, stir in the vanilla extract.
Serve over the sliced pound cake.
