Introduction
This cake boasts a double helping of chocolate (in the form of real chocolate and cocoa powder) for a wildly big hit of chocolate heaven. Swathed in a fudgy chocolate cream all over the outside and the inside, it becomes a king amongst chocolate cakes! I have given instructions to make this cake the classic method or the all-in-one method. If you using all-in-one method then add the baking powder.
