About

Dense, tender, and very chocolaty, this fabulous cake melts in your mouth. It was inspired by my love of the Golden Lemon Almond Cake. Instead of almonds and lemon syrup, it contains walnuts and cocoa syrup. This cake is delicious eaten out of hand, in a large bowl with a scoop of espresso ice cream, or plated with zigzag squiggles of Caramel Ganache.
