Here are such mouthwatering delights as Heart of Darkness Cake, the ultimate cupcake with a melted chocolate truffle center. Chocolate Almond Cake with Red Raspberry Mousse (the very cake Desaulniers created for Julia Child's birthday); Chocolate Chunk Cookie Cake and more.


For chocoholics eager for a quick fix, Desaulniers includes plenty of fast, easy recipes, some of which come from his mother's circle of chocolate-lover friends. From Margie's Golden Raisin Heavy Fudge Cake, to Mimi Montano's Chocolate Zucchini Cake, these desserts are sure to please the most discriminating dessert lover.
