Ultimate Chocolate Cake
Season 2016 Episode 6 | 4m 38s
Light and spongy, devilishly decadent, and dark as a moonless midnight.
Serious chocolate lover? Our signature take on the classic chocolate cake is light and spongy yet devilishly decadent and, thanks to dutch-process cocoa, dark as a moonless midnight. Our recipe uses mostly old-school approaches—brushing the cake layers with simple syrup to retain moisture, for instance. But it’s the secret ingredient that really takes the cake.
