Chocolate fondant ... one of the tastier and simpler cake to make for a dinner. When I say simple, I mean extremely simple. Just do not get worried when you see it rising and falling, or getting strange cracks and shapes ... simple accept the shape it gets and enjoy it. It is lovely alone or with some orange jam (with orange peel in it).
