Wicked Windmill Chocolate Cake

This cake is, without the shadow of a doubt, a true stunner, one of those cakes that you want to save for those special occasions, you know. Got a chocolate lover in your life that you’d like to please, surprise, bribe, or coax into asking you to marry them? Make this for them. They’ll be pure putty in your hands. Guaranteed! You should store the finished cake in the refrigerator, but it’s preferable to serve it at room temperature. As such, you should take it out of the fridge 2 to 4 hours prior to serving. Individual slices will get back to room temperature much faster, though… Any eventual leftovers will keep in the fridge for up to 10 days, providing that you keep them in an airtight container.
