4 stars only because it is a very "adult" cheesecake and my boys did not like it. But if you were always looking for a less sweet and more chocolatey cheesecake give it a try.

A note re baking time: my cake took took 15 minutes more to reach the described puffiness on the outer edges without being overly fluid in the center.

This has become my go-to chocolate cake recipe! Quick and easy to make this recipe produces a rich cake for every chocolate lover.
