Moist triple chocolate cake
This soft and moist triple chocolate cake is a pure delicacy. It is a perfect chocolate dessert for parties such as birthdays, anniversaries and celebrations with family or friends. In fact, I prepared it for my son’s birthday as the chocolate cake is his favorite.
As written in the title it is very moist and melts in the mouth together with the sweet filling with chocolate, mascarpone and whipped cream. You can have fun decorating it to your liking with piping bag, chocolate flakes, fruit or chopped hazelnuts or pistachios. It is a spectacular dessert, filled and decorated for chocolate lovers.
