Introduction

A family favorite. When baked the cake forms on top with a rich chocolate sauce on the bottom. Serve warm, flipping the piece of cake upside down on the plate so the chocolate sauce cascades over the cake in an abundance of chocolaty goodness. Top with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
