Chocolate Fallen Soufflé CakeAnna Williams

If you're not familiar with soufflé cakes, this dessert may look a little odd — but it's delicious. The cake is designed to be eaten once it has collapsed and cooled (just the opposite of a regular soufflé).

Cooks' note:

Cake (removed from pan) can be made 1 day ahead and kept, wrapped in plastic wrap, at room temperature.
