I love chocolate and think everything tastes better with chocolate. I was not sure if I was going to like this but I did. This was excellent and my husband thought so too. My son said it was too chocolaty but he does not like chocolate much. I took Mardi Michels suggestion of using parchment paper first and then plastic wrap to prep the pan. This did make unmolding the pan very easy. I served only a 1/2 inch piece since it is such a rich dessert and that was plenty. Dorie suggests almost an inch but that is a rich piece. I am saving the rest and serving it again for Valentine’s Day.

Love your pictures. This was a very rich dessert so serving it with raspberries is an excellent choice.

This was a hit at our house, too—though my daughter is like your son and doesn't like any chocolate dessert that's too intense!

Glad this tip on the parchment paper worked – I wish I had thought of it BEFORE I made mine 😉

So brave to microwave the chocolate. I'm always afraid that I'm going to burn it. Your pictures are tempting me to try it the next time around.

Agreed this was a decadent chocolate cake but well worth the effort. I love that you got a photo of the swirl of chocolate and egg and cream mixtures, I thought that was so fun to mix the two together… simple pleasures ;0)Happy baking to you!

This was chocolaty in a good way 😉 but I also had one younger taster who didn't care for it, maybe too rich? A small serving is the way to go, I think !

Where did you find pasteurized eggs? I always look for them but never have seen them. This was rich, but we loved it.
