Soft chocolate cake in a beggar’s purse – moelleux au chocolat en aumônières
Cakes
In the 14th century, having money on hand to give to a passerby who begged a gift was (and still is) a Christian act of charity. But an 'aumônière' (or alms purse) was not used exclusively for carrying alms about. It also functioned much as a purse does today. This dessert takes its descriptive name from a common pouch-shaped form of the alms purse with a drawstring closure.
