This cake knows how to hit the sweet spot—literally. It’s rich without being overwhelming, quick to make, and just fancy enough to pass for a celebration dessert. Whether you’re baking for a birthday, greeting surprise guests, or just want something comforting with your coffee, this recipe’s simplicity makes it a go-to.
Not overly indulgent, but still satisfying for chocolate fans (and if you are a true chocoholic, you’ve got to check out my Chocolate Zucchini Bread or Chocolate Peanut Butter Bread Pudding Cookies 👀).
