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.
19 recipes in the library match this dish. Every figure is one the recipe itself stated; where a recipe said nothing, the cell is empty rather than filled in. Each row links to its table, and every table credits and links its source.
