Very chocolate cake
6 servings
60 minutes
This cake is a true embodiment of chocolate perfection, an ideal dessert for true connoisseurs of rich flavor. Its British origin is rooted in the traditions of cozy tea parties, where chocolate always held a special place. Rich, moist, and airy, it combines the softness of butter, the sweetness of sugar, and the depth of bitter chocolate flavor. Whipped egg whites give it lightness, while the final decoration with melted milk chocolate makes it truly luxurious. This cake is great as a standalone dessert or paired with a cup of fragrant tea or coffee. Perfect for special occasions and just to treat yourself to something incredibly delicious.
