Maybe I should stop pretending that this blog is about baking in general, and re-name it Chocoholics Anonymous! And so here I have yet another chocolate cake baked from Nigella Feasts. I was inspired because Nigella described it as being "melting, luscious and mood-enhancingly good". And of course, I'm always on the look-out for the perfect chocolate cake.
It's quite a straightforward cake to make. The only vaguely special ingredient is sour cream. There's also no worrying about creaming etc. as you basically process all the ingredients together and fill two sandwich tins with the batter. There is, however,
some melting of chocolate to do for the icing, which can be tricky. But I didn't have problems this time.
As for the icing, I used 2/3 of the icing sugar than the recipe called for, and there was still a lot and it was very sweet.
I actually made this at the end of February, but have been too busy to blog about it, so I can't really remember all the taste details. But I remember it being moist and crumbly, and sweet. It was good, and enjoyed by various people. For me though, while I enjoyed it, I did not think it was as good as THAT Chocolate Cake. To be fair, THAT Chocolate Cake is one fantastic chocolate cake, and it will remain my go-to Chocolate cake recipe.
