Tips

This cake is extremely easy to make - less than 10 minutes - and the only tricky part is to make sure that the cake is not overcooked (never let it in the oven for more than 25 min) while still being of consistent texture.

This cake can be served with strawberries on the ice and whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.

This recipe is my personal favorite though I have recently tried Clotilde Dussolier's Chocolate and Zucchini cake and Jamie Oliver's brownie, both of them turning out to be great.

This cake nonetheless is a winner thanks to its half baked interior and it will please all your guests. Bringing it to coworkers is also a great option..trust me :).
