[i]" Sinfully,incredably awesome"[/i]is Dorothy's family's description of this flourless chocolate cake. My family has resorted to some delvilish behavior. Someone(s) is forking the cake right out of the dish and the clean fork supply is reaching a critically low level. The only thing I changed was the whipped cream, adding more sugar, vanilla and cream of tartar. I topped the cake with the whipped cream, once it was cool. Have to go - before the clean forks are gone!
