Three ingredients and you have a cake, that was at least the idea with the original recipe. It’s been a few years since I first baked this cake, and when I was visiting work during my maternity leave, the occasion called for a cake that was both delicious and allowed itself to be baked in between babytime. A couple more ingredients have been added and it has become a little more fudgey.
