Chocolate Friands

It’s easy to understand why friands are popular in some cafes as they are a delicious sweet treat.  They are also incredibly easy to make, in a short space of time.

This is a simple yet wonderful chocolate version of the friand.  This produces a dense, moist chocolate flavoured cake that provides a great sweet snack between meals or with a morning or afternoon tea.

When you are short on time, but want to create a nice sweet treat, this is an easy answer for you.  They can also be made in advance of your social gathering and store well for a few days.
