Chocolate Nut Cake
by Tarla Dalal
This gooey chocolaty cake dotted with nuts is ambrosia for every chocolate lover. The intense flavour of chocolate is smartly teamed up with the rich tanginess of orange marmalade in this easy to make delicacy.
To this, we add more delectable stuff like nuts, dry fruits and grated coconut with a dash of honey to intensify the flavour further. This cake is relatively easier than other cakes because you just need to mix everything together, cook for a few minutes and bake.
You just need to be careful about one thing. Since the Chocolate Nut Delight is a gooey treat, you need to let the cake cool completely before demoulding. Otherwise, it will stick to the cake tin.
You can also try other chocolate recipes like the Chocolate Pizza or Chocolate Popcorn Marshmallow Bars .
