Luscious Chocolate Fondue Cake A sweet, sexy treat Contributed by Chris Swift

Fondue is a sexy, messy delight. Cheese or chocolate, there's something decadent about dipping bread, cake or fruit into a rich sauce and licking your sticky fingers.

This tempting recipe saves you the step of deciding what you should dip into the fondue: first you make the cake, and then comes the creamy sauce.

• 1-3/4 cup flour
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 2/3 cup sugar
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 large egg
• 3/4 cup milk
• 1/4 cup oil
• 1 tsp vanilla

1. Mix all ingredients very well. Very, very well.
2. Pour into a 9" round or square greased and floured pan.
3. Bake at 350° for 20 minutes. (Just enough time for a quickie! - eds.)

Fondue

• 1-1/2 cup sugar
• 1/4 cup cocoa
• 1 cup milk
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 3 tbsp butter

1. Mix sugar and cocoa very, very well.
2. Stir in milk and vanilla.
3. Add butter and cook on low heat until thick and creamy.

To serve: Cut cake into squares, split them down the middle and pour on a generous helping of chocolate sauce. Eat with your fingers, or with someone else's fingers, or...

Stains: Chocolate
Of course, you can just lick it up. Or, scrape off as much as possible, and treat the stain with a prewash spray or pretreat with a product containing enzymes.
