I almost never say no to chocolate cake. I’m a sucker for them all, from super-fudgy, flourless ones to intensely dark tortes. But this is the chocolate cake I’ll make for a crowd. It’s an easy, one-bowl bake with a velvety crumb and a milk chocolate mascarpone frosting that brings a luscious, creamy texture. Casual yet decadent.
