    Step 4

    While letting the chocolate cool, zest the other half of the lemon and mix it with some fine sugar. Put it in the freezer for about 10 minutes and decorate the cake with it when the chocolate hasn't completely set but did firm up a bit.

    And now, make yourself a fine cup a tea or coffee and enjoy this fresh treat with a good strong taste of chocolate. Mmm... who doesn't love citrus with a bit of choc-au-latteee :)

    This really is such an easy thing to do with any plain cake mix or recipe and I promise you, it makes alllll the difference! Let me know if you've tried this and what you think of it!

    KISSES, DAPHNE
