The Best Chocolate Cake (food magazine) “Good dessert is the reason for living.” --Chef Julia Child The most delicious chocolate cake in town can be found in the restaurant Macaroni Grill. This chocolate cake is so delicious because it is moist, warm and covered in rich chocolate fudge sauce instead of frosting. This cake also has a sprinkling of pecans on the top.

(body paragraphs/explanation 1) The chocolate ganache cake, pronounced “ga-nosh,” is a warm and delightful blend of sweet and salty on a plate. The cake is moist never dry. A dry cake is the worst sort of cake, but this cake has just the right amount of butter to taste just right. The texture of the cake simply melts in the mouth.

(explanation 2) When your chocolate ganache cake arrives at the end of the meal, steaming, everyone at the table will have mouths watering in anticipation. The fact that it is served warm is one of the reasons it is so excellent. Warm desserts are more like “home-made,” and they seem more like comfort food.
