Title: Death by chocolate
Post by: Uncle Mort on October 02, 2009, 10:20:40 AM

The Chef has just brought in a chocolate cake to celebrate her birthday (belated - her memory was jogged by my recent event)

She used the "River Cafe Chocolate Nemesis" receipe:

675g dark chocolate (70% cocoa)
450g unsalted butter
10 eggs
675g caster sugar
