We all know that the easiest chocolate cake is one someone else makes. That being said, this one is pretty easy to make, if a bit unexpected.

Julia says this is the best chocolate cake you’ve ever put in your mouth. No disrespect intended but Contessa Garten’s chocolate cake I made awhile ago is better. That thing is dangerous. Read more
