Close your eyes and imagine the most perfect slice of chocolate cake you've ever tasted—now multiply that by ten.

With its velvety crumb, deep chocolate flavor, and signature crackly crust, this isn't just dessert—it's an experience that will have everyone begging for your recipe!
Originally named because the classic version contained a pound each of butter, sugar, eggs, and flour, our chocolate version maintains that legendary dense-yet-tender texture while delivering an intense chocolate experience that's neither too sweet nor too bitter. It's the perfect balance of sophistication and comfort, equally at home on a holiday table or as a Tuesday night treat with a glass of cold milk.
