This post is part of Summer Dessert Week. Brands supplied products and ingredients. As always my opinions are 100% my own. In this recipe I used Dixie Crystals Sugar and Circulon Spring Form Pan
This recipe is inspired from King Arthur Baking, it's a wonderful recipe. I'm adding my tips to help you make a delicious fudgy chocolate cake. I've garnished mine with White Chocolate and Raspberries. The white chocolate is a nice compliment to the deep rich chocolate and any berries give a sweet tart taste to each bite.
A little goes a long way! I can't emphasize enough, this cake is RICH. A small slice is really all you want. In this case, you won't want to over indulge but the great news is that this cake will feed more than you think. Drizzle some chocolate on the dessert plate with a few berries for the WOW factor we all love.

This cake was so rich and so delicious! I went back for a second piece because I couldn't get enough of how sweet it was! Definitely need a glass of milk to wash this down, but the milk just makes it even better!
