Tips from the Chefs
- Serve it with a dollop of lightly sweetened whipped cream to balance the cake’s rich, fudgy intensity with soft, airy contrast.
- Pair each slice with a scoop of vanilla bean or salted caramel gelato, letting the cold creaminess melt slowly into the warm chocolate.
- A handful of fresh raspberries or sliced strawberries adds brightness and acidity that lifts the deep cocoa flavor beautifully.
