Instructions For Chocolate Syrup

Tips
Always sift dry ingredients.
Cut the cake into squares while in the oven dish.
Pour half of the syrup into a seperate container to dip it, and leave the rest of the syrup on the hot oven plate so it doesn't get too cold. Pour the rest of the syrup into the container when needed. The syrup becomes too sticky to work with when it cools down.
