dark chocolate souffle cake
I made this cake for a valentine's dinner our church hosted this year. There was a contest for who could make the best chocolate dessert. No I didn't win, but I did have several people tell me they really enjoyed this cake! It's the kind that has that wonderful dark, bitter chocolate taste. It's not too sweet and since it's a souffle cake, the texture is very unique - light and almost crumbly.
I followed the recipe to a tee... it was for other guests afterall, and I was hoping to win. :) I did use the all-purpose flour substitute for cake flour, which worked fine. Not sure if it affected the texture?
I love my desserts cold, so I throughly enjoyed the leftover cake after it had a nice stay in the fridge. :)
... side note: ignore the crevices in the cake. I started to cut it, and it wasn't going so well so I stopped. so much for presentation!
