Synopsis: “[A] drool-inducing, photo-heavy cookbook . . . [Klivans] guides even the least confident baker to a cocoa-dusted kitchen and full-on chocolate ecstasy.” —Publishers WeeklyThere are enough people out there obsessed with chocolate cake to warrant an official holiday: National Chocolate Cake Day, January 27. Beloved baker Elinor Klivans, author of the best-selling Cupcakes! and Cupcake Kit, has dedicated her new cookbook to the stuff of chocoholic fantasy: chocolate cake. There’s something for bakers of every skill level in the fifty recipes included here, from fast chocolate fixes like the Hot Chocolate Pudding Cake to more elaborate recipes like the Mocha Whipped Cream Truffle Cake. This book is certain to be celebrated by chocolate lovers everywhere. And how will they do that? With cake, of course!“A splendid book. Many of the recipes are easy, but even the ones that are somewhat complicated—the New Brooklyn Chocolate Blackout Cake, for instance—feature concise instructions written in plain language. And the photos and food-styling are stunning. All together, it’s a great package. True chocoholics won’t want to miss this one.” —January Magazine
