50 minutes

Chocolate cake with cardamom is an exquisite dessert with hints of Eastern spice. Cardamom, known since ancient times as the royal spice, gives chocolate a refined aroma and a subtle spiciness. The dense, rich texture of the cake resembles traditional European desserts, while its velvety taste is complemented by a delicate chocolate sauce. This cake is perfect for festive gatherings and cozy evenings. Cardamom not only deepens the flavor but also aids digestion, making this dessert not just delicious but also beneficial. It is best served warm so that the melted chocolate sauce beautifully drips down the sides, creating a unique harmony of flavors. In every bite lies sensuality and sophistication that transforms an ordinary tea time into a true ritual of enjoyment.
