Chocolate cake, compared
Make a tableThe temperature range here is unusually wide for a cake, because these are not all the same object: a single sponge layer and a dense flourless cake want different ovens, and both are called chocolate cake. Read the flour column first — it separates the two more reliably than the title does.
