This is a fun and casual cake, great for a picnic as it’s moist, yet sturdy enough to travel well. The flavour is mildly chocolate-y with caramel undertones.
This oil and cocoa-based cake was very quick and easy to put together, simply mixing wet with dry ingredients by hand. The baking time was a little long, but the author suggests taking it out early if you prefer a fudgy cake.
The recipe called for a spring form pan, which wasn’t absolutely necessary as the cake wasn’t delicate and could withstand handling, but the 3” sides were needed as it was a very tall cake. I baked mine for the full length of time (1 hour). The top cracked a bit so I relied on my favourite trick to mask flaws: a dusting of powdered sugar!
I did think it too sweet, but I was once again in the minority as it turned out to be very popular.
