minutesI love this recipe and it is a go to for dinner parties or for people who love chocolate cake. Even thought it doesn’t have flour it is still quite rich but I find a dollop whipped cream mixture and sliced strawberries or raspberries add to the incredible flavor of this cake. It is easy and CAN BE MADE AHEAD OF TIME. Wrap well in plastic wrap and keep at room temperature.
