Nigella Lawson really is a Domestic Goddess ~



If you haven't had her Chocolate Cloud Cake, please add it to your list.  It's heavenly, decadent and most of all very easy to make.  Your guests will ooh and aah over this one and you haven't even slaved in the kitchen over it!  Nigella rocks with this one.  She really is a domestic goddess, really.....

Be forewarned, serve in thin slices.  You can always go back for seconds.

When you take the cake out of the oven, it will sink.  But don't despair, this is the space to add all of the luscious whipped cream "cloud" on.  And don't forget to give it a good dusting of cocoa powder.  Yum is all I am going to say.

  • 9 oz (ounce) dark chocolate (minimum 70% cocoa solids)

Mary, This looks like pure heaven. YUM!!!!! Have a funny story about your post, Perfect Chocolate Cake. I read that it was a hershey chocolate recipe, wellllllllll there is a restaurant here owned by one of my neighbors and has been in business for years. I asked her one day if she would share the recipe, she told me, "It's an old family recipe and I can't share it". When I read the recipe you posted I knew it was the same recipe. Where is that rolling with laughter little guy when you need him. Too funny.
