Chocolate cake with a hint of pimente d'espelette
Cakes
When I worked at a restaurant in Toulouse, France, the chef made a vaguely similar cake, but I've tweaked his chocolate cake recipe to my liking, making it softer and spicier. Pimente d’Espelette is a chili pepper that comes from Espelette, France, a Basque enclave near the Spanish border. If you can’t find any pimente d’Espelette, cayenne pepper is a great alternative, although it's a bit spicier. Don’t worry if the center of the cake is still molten after baking - that’s how it’s supposed to be. Vanilla ice cream makes a delicious accompaniment to the cake and helps offset some of the spiciness. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
