Using large chips of bittersweet chocolate makes this cake insanely chocolate. It doesn’t need icing, just a touch of whipped cream or powdered sugar to finish it off. If you like chocolate and salt like I do, sprinkle some kosher salt on the top and enjoy! This is not a low calorie dessert by any means so use portion control. You could also reduce the chocolate to 1 cup and I’m sure it would still be awesome.
I used flax seed as I didn’t have any eggs but you could make this with 4 eggs instead.
