There is one day a year in which I will happily indulge in a piece of chocolate cake, and that is Valentine’s Day, which also happens to be my birthday. This is the cake I made for this year’s birthday fete.
It comes from the classic Silver Palate Cookbook and includes the addition of a touch of grated orange peel. With almost a pound of chocolate, almost a pound of butter, a dozen eggs, and only one cup of flour, you can just imagine how delectably rich it is.
