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.

Time 25m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

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.
