This cake is definitely chocolate lover’s dream!!! If you are true chocoholic you will love this decadent Flourless Chocolate Cake, too!
Finally, I’m sharing a real chocolate cake recipe here on my blog. And it’s been more than a year since I published my Christmas Chocolate Toffee Cake Recipe. In the meantime, there was Triple Chocolate Mousse Cake Minis, Reese’s Peanut Butter Christmas Trees, Homemade Almond Joy Candy Bars and so on. But not even one decadent chocolate cake for true chocolate lovers.
Whit this in mid, I was thinking what should I make, considering that the holiday season started. And chocolate cake was my first choice. But when it’s about chocolate cake, I usually use my favorite go-to recipe. And that is and Hershey’s “Perfectly Chocolate” Chocolate Cake. At first, I used this simple and easy ONE BOWL CHOCOATE CAKE RECIPE for my OMG Chocolate Chocolate Cake. Then for Oreo Cheesecake Chocolate Cake, decadent Nutella Chocolate Cake andTuxedo Cake. Also, I used it even for Chocolate Poke Cake and Hershey’s Smore’s Cupcakes.
