My housemate says this is 'her cake to go", but to me, it makes my sweet senses glow. Pathetic attempt at trying to rhyme but I must say, this tasted absolutely sinful. Let me take you through the anatomy of this cake.We start with the top layer of the cake. It is covered with a thick dark chocolate glaze which isn't thick with sweetness but settles very well on your tongue. I am not a person who loves excessively sweet food and this amount of sweetness was just right for me..
The second layer, a warm chocolate cake that was so moist it was almost gooey. The gooeyness of the cake was to die for! It exhibited richness and style in its consistency. I've never been a fan of dry cakes. If it's dry, it might as well be bread. But no, this was the furthest thing away from dry...
The thrid layer, another layer of dark chocolate syrup... This layer was creatively placed even thinner than the topmost layer. I thought that was clever because some people go into an icing frenzy and all you have is 'mush-cake-bigger mush- cake'. By placing the second icing thinly between the two layers of the cake, it glued the two layers of chocolate heaven together and still maintained its distinct richness.
The fourth layer, as you can guess, another layer of chocolate moist cake. What was absolutely lovely about this dessert is that it was served up warm. It allowed me to experience the burst of chocolatey goodness and its 'just-right' sweetness. The warmth also meant that the icing on the cake did not sit on it like a chocolate statue. Instead, it dripped off the sides of the cake and created a small puddle of chocolate around it. Perfect to dip your cake into when you run out of icing on top of the cake...
A perfect dessert to have on a cold night in. Personally I think it would be amazing even if it was coold but I am one of those weird people who actually love cakes out of a fridge. But today, I was in the mood for something warm and fun and I was lucky enough to have it served to me:)
