Hunka Burnin’ Love Cake

The first version of this cake was created in the late ’80s at Zingerman’s Delicatessen. Then as today, the Deli version is a whopping 7-pound cake! It’s a four-layer, 9-inch round cake that can easily satisfy 30 people, but the Deli serves big pieces, so this cake is cut into 16 slices for individual sale. The cake itself is a fudgy, solid butter cake with a lusciously smooth chocolate buttercream. For extra goodness try to find high-fat cocoa to use in the cake recipe.
