This cake is an exceptionally decadent cake that should be reserved for very indulgent occasions. The cake is extremely moist and nutty, the brittle sweet and crunchy, and the chocolate frosting light and silky. Though this may take longer to prepare than your ordinary chocolate cake, this is anything but average!
