About

Bakers Dozen East and West—a group of dedicated bakers on both coasts—meet in this recipe. This is a special tribute to Flo Braker, long-time friend and much-respected colleague, and one of the founding members of Bakers Dozen West. I thought it would be fun to combine Flo’s best chocolate cake, the Dark Chocolate Cake, with mine, the Chocolate Domingo.
