Notes
SWEETNESS: This is very rich and chocolatey and not super sweet. If you prefer a dessert that fairly sweet, you can increase the sugar in the cake to ⅔ c. instead of the ⅓ c. listed in the recipe
REHEATING: This recipe is best served right away as the sauce becomes thicker and absorbs into the cake a bit as it sets. However, it’s still delicious reheated, just slightly less saucy.
