Looks can be deceiving when it comes to cake. Paul's Chocolate Moelleux. I can't say it loud enough as I shiver anxiously in the queue, eyes on the display, so much is at stake. The world could end, it wouldn't matter, I would have this cake!
Not corrupted by icing or murdered by raisins and nuts, it stands alone, brown and unassuming, even somewhat unattractive. The first bite is a revelation; this cake has managed to embrace the extremes; sweet but with a hint of cocoa bitterness, soft but nicely crusty on the sides, crumbles and melts in the mouth at the same time. A little goes a long way, but even a whole cake wouldn't induce nausea.
Great choice for any occasion, especially if you need to fool anyone about your baking skills. This cake has such a home made, just out of Mom's kitchen oven taste, that you could get away with it!
