Best Chocolate Mud Cake

This cake is just unbelievable - delicious and rich,  I think it is almost impossible to fail this amazing chocolate cake!
For making it prettier, you can top it up with shredded pieces of chocolate, strings of ganache, slices almonds... A dream in a slice!


Oops - really to make it again...
