Whatever the name, this amazing 1950’s recipe is simply delicious! The cake has an irresistible appeal and a moist, tender texture. But the best part is the moist dark chocolate couverture that transforms every bite into a chocolate paradise. We tried it and it was so good that we didn’t just eat one slice but the whole cake at once! So if you’re looking for a tasty way to rediscover an old recipe from the 1950s, watch this video!
