Cheesecake Factory-style blackout cake
I make this blackout cake when the table wants chocolate on chocolate, not a polite little cocoa hint. It has pudding, cake layers, and frosting, so I clear the counter before I start. I keep the method practical, preserve the source quantities, and point out the texture cues I use at home.
