Ohhh chocolate.....I've had a love affair with it for most of my life....in all its glorious dark-rich-creamy-fudgy-cakey- warm-molten-melt-in-your-mouth forms. As much as I love to cook, I'm not into baking fancy desserts. This cake, from Beatrice Peltre, is uncomplicated baking at its best.
This cake paired with vanilla ice cream and mixed berry sauce is divine. Gluten-free baking mix gives it a surprising lightness. The chocolate is rich and deep. The berry sauce is lively and fresh.
