Dessert: Flourless chocolate torte w/ chocolate fudge

This is the closest to heaven that I'll get to in Canberra compared with Jaz Bar's chocolate cake.

Zefirelli's version is like a cross between a chocolate brownie, and a slice of chocolate fudge. It has a slightly bitter taste (so is not overly sweet/sickening), which is politely offset by the scoop of vanilla icecream.

The carmelised nuts at the top give the cake extra flavour and texual density (I suspect there are finely ground nuts throughout), the cake body is not quite chewy, but melts in your mouth.

Do give it a try!
