Yesterday I wanted to make something different for my weekly "Pastry Meeting", and of course it had to include chocolate. There is always a chocolate selection, since I am the host and have to eat something! But I just didn't want to settle for something ordinary, it had to be unique, colorful or highly unusual. Then I remembered reading something on David Lebovitz's blog that referred to an idiot proof cake he designed for a client when he was consulting for a Parisian restaurant. I emailed myself to Paris, and voila.........there it was......."Chocolate Idiot Cake". This recipe is as simple as simple gets, and produces a marvelous flourless cake. I bumped it up a notch and added a splash of Kahlua and then covered it with a silky, burnt caramel sauce. My guests loved it, and it was devoured in minutes. Stupid me..........I was an IDIOT and forgot to take a picture.

Sounds like a great recipe, thanks for the tips!
Hello Mark. Thanks for commenting on my blog. Glad you liked my dessert on the barbecue. I didn't see any ice cream recipes in your archives, but you are warmly invited to participate in my Ice Cream Round Up on July 18th.
By far the best cake ever!! Only for chocolate idiots though, which I definitely fall in that category. Thanks for giving me half that cake on Wednesday Mark,LOL Joey
