Nigella Lawson's Dark & Sumptuous Chocolate Cake

I love a great chocolate cake; moist, dense and brownie-like. I stumbled upon one of my favorite chef, Niegella Lawson's, chocolate cake recipe one day and I gave her recipe a try. Since that day, I never look back and it has becomes my go-to chocolate cake recipe! Don't say I didn't warn you, this is a very dark chocolate intense cake, definitely not for the faint of heart.
