Here is a recipe to fulfil all your chocolate cravings during the lock down. It’s super easy, uses basic ingredients and absolutely delicious! Even your kids can attempt making it. If you don’t have cocoa powder simply skip it. If you don’t have dark chocolate, use milk chocolate. And you can increase the flour: fat ratio, omit or increase the baking powder to achieve different texture and goodness with each experiment. Feel free to play around with the recipe. Hope you enjoy it!

Remove and cut squares and plate us to serve with ice-cream or chocolate sauce or whipped cream!
It tastes awesome with a glass of cold milk or hot coffee too!
