How to Making Recipes Nigella Lawson's Dark & Sumptuous Chocolate Cake using 21 ingredients and 7 steps

Nigella Lawson's Dark & Sumptuous Chocolate Cake - I never ever thought I would be in raptures about the joyfulness of a - yes - vegan chocolate cake. I now make this as my chocolate cake of choice for people where dietary restrictions are not an issue, and I don't even need to explain it's vegan. On top of everything else, it. I am willing to believe that a confectioner wouldn't call this proper fudge, but it tastes divine, and you won't need a sugar thermometer or have to test for frightening soft or hard ball stages. I like this best when it's made slightly less express, but with no greater effort, by stashing it in the deep freeze.

Nigella Lawson's Dark & Sumptuous Chocolate Cake - Be sure to line the tin well. I first came across a version of this voluptuously soft, rich chocolate mousse at Morito, one of my favourite places to eat in London. Then - as these things tend to happen - I started finding it everywhere. The olive oil doesn't just bring its resonant flavour to the mousse, it creates its smooth, soft texture. Go for a smooth but still spicy rather than raspingly peppery extra-virgin. I don't know why people don't make Birthday Brownies all the time - they're so easy and so wonderful. Brownies are much quicker to make than a cake, and they look so beautiful piled up in a rough-and-tumble pyramid spiked with birthday candles. Thank you and good luck
