The perfect marriage of chocolaty, fudgey, and decadent, with quick, easy preparation. If you keep the bittersweet chocolate on hand, you can have this rich flourless chocolate cake ready to solve all your problems in no time at all! My husband called this his favorite chocolate cake ever, which kind of hurts, since I make several others that are a lot more effort... I followed the directions to the letter, being careful to not overbake. Be sure to have vanilla ice-cream or whipped-cream on hand, then sprinkle with a little shaved bittersweet chocolate.
