Description

A cake that is best left to chill in the refrigerator after assembling, even though you might want to eat it right away. It is completely chocolatey: from the sponge to the cream; in fact, there's nothing else in it. Adjust the level of decoration to your taste — it will be wonderful in its pure, fully chocolate form, adorned with colorful sprinkles, or topped with fresh berries.
