Chocolate Cloud Cake
On days when I want the warmth of the hearth rather than the hurly burly of the city streets I stay in and read cookery books, and this recipe comes from just the sort of book that gives most succour, Classic Home Desserts by Richard Sax.

As Richard Sax says, "intensity, then relief, in each bite".

But obviously, you can use whatever leftover chicken you have; it
