Iced chocolate cake
cooking time 10+40 min
when I need to be cuddled a beautiful chocolate cake is the answer and an iced chocolate cake is the best answer……..
I remember my university times and Sunday afternoons at my friend Giampiero's house, all together, when he used to make the original version of this cake, unique and full of secrets.
These good times were more than fifteen years ago, but when I make this cake, changed by time and by ingredients that I can find in Doha and also changed by my memory, I go back with my mind and I feel like an happy little girl!!!
