Instructions
- Chop cooking chocolate coarsely and transfer it to a heat proof bowl placed over a sauce pan of simmering water. Melt it until creamy and saucy as shown below(I melted more chocolate than the quantity required so don't get confused whether its 1 tablespoon :O).Cool down to room temperature. Crumble the cake.
- In a mixing bowl - add crumbled cake, melted butter, coco powder, icing sugar, mix well. Then add chocolate sauce and form smooth dough. Chill the batter for 30 minutes. Then pinch small lemon sized balls and roll them to smooth balls.

Notes
- Chilling overnight is best before shaping as it holds the shape well.
- Make sure your mixer is dry while grinding the nuts. I missed to check the mixer and it was wet hence the nuts was not completely dry as you can see.
- Be creative and use your favorite topping. You can use icing sugar, powdered mixed nuts etc.
- You can even coat the balls in melted chocolate sauce made, drizzle with white chocolate and refrigerate it until the chocolate is set.
- Keeps well for 3 days under refrigeration , depends on the freshness of the cake too.
- You can also use ready made chocolate sauce instead of melted cooking chocolate
- If the cake is very dry then you may require little more butter and chocolate sauce to bind it together as a dough. My cake was very moist so have given the measure accordingly.
- Don't let the cake balls in room temperature for more time as the topping might become moist.
- You can even use readymade chocolate cake and skip cocoa powder and chocolate sauce.
- You can even add ½ cup powdered biscuit(digestive biscuits).
