This is essentially the same recipe for the 6 minute chocolate cake in the Moosewood Desserts cookbook. I've made this cake twice and am amazed at how moist and delicious it is. Sure, there are even better chocolate cakes out there, but you can't beat this if you're looking for a quick chocolate fix.
