Tiny but intense chocolate cake from The Smitten Kitchen Cookbook: Recipes and Wisdom from an Obsessive Home Cook (page 250) by Deb Perelman

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    Good, but not "intense."

    A great little cake and easy for little kitchen helpers to get involved.

    This is my go-to recipe for chocolate cake. It's the perfect size for my family of four. We always eat it with berries and fresh whipped cream. This has ruined me for every other chocolate cake.

    It’s easy, it’s beautiful and it is, truly, intense. It’s also perfect for smaller gatherings. Because you’re going to make this so often it’s worth the minimal investment of buying a 6″ cake pan.
