Nigella lawson chocolate cake

This is, for me, the quintessential chocolate cake: melting, luscious and mood-enhancingly good.

Since Manjari has over 60% cocoa solids, I supplement the recipe with a Valrhona chocolate called Jivara, otherwise the chocolate quality is too rich. That said, I…

Although I first came up with this recipe because I had someone coming for supper who — genuinely — couldn't eat wheat or dairy, it is so meltingly good, I now make it all the time for those whose life and diet are not so unfairly constrained, myself included.
