Fabulous! You've done it again! Another incredibly simple, divinely delicious delectation! You've got me baking again - I love it. This is THE chocolate cake. I used 80% chocolate & served it with Creme Fraiche w/t castor sugar & a good dash of Kahlua. People cried - it was so good. I love & trust your recipes- can't wait to try more TRCB. Thank you!
