About

There are chocolate cakes that are light, moist and fluffy, with an echo of chocolate on the aftertaste ... and there are others like this one that are deep in flavour, moist and fudge-like, that you sink your teeth into and that just make you go ‘yesssss!’ Rich and unforgiving in its chocolatey-ness, one slice from this cake could never possibly be enough.
