Today we're talking chocolate cakes.
I've tried a lot of chocolate cakes and
I've tried a lot of chocolate cake recipes. This one by Donna Hay
might be my all time favourite. It's quite extraordinary how a
recipe that simple results in a cake that good. I know some people
prefer their chocolate cake to have a light sponge and a fluffy
filling, and I can respect that. This, however, is a true chocolate
lover's cake. Very rich and dense and... well, perfect.

When you bake it and let it cool only
slightly before serving, you'll get quite a heavenly creamy texture –
exactly what you see in Donna's video. This is my favourite way of
serving (and eating) it. If you refrigerate it for a few hours or
overnight, however, you'll get a different texture: harder, denser,
but no less delicious.

The recipe needs no changes and neither
does the technique. I follow Donna's instructions exactly and I'm
never disappointed.
I know half the chocolate cakes out
there claim to be the ultimate or the best you ever had, but
seriously, do yourself a favour and try this one!
