WILLY Q'S CHOCOLATE TRUTH CAKE
I haven't made this yet but I want to. The recipe is in a book I read called "All of The Above" by Shelley Pearsall. It's a fictional story but there are a few recipes in it. In the book this is on a menu that says "sweet enough to make tongues start talking."

CHOCOLATE WACKY CAKE
Rich, moist, and chocolatey, this Chocolate Wacky Cake is made with no eggs, no butter, and no milk! It's a dairy-free chocolate cake that's also known as Depression Cake, because it became popular during WWII's rationing. This easy-to-make cake has always been "the birthday cake" in my family. Topped with creamy chocolate buttercream, it's the ultimate chocolate dessert!

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9 inch springform pan. Line the bottom of the pan with parchment paper, and then wrap the outside of the pan with aluminum foil.
- Combine 14 ounces of bittersweet chocolate with the butter in a metal bowl over a pan of simmering water. Stir frequently until melted and smooth. Remove from heat, and cool to lukewarm.
- In a medium bowl, whip egg yolks with half of the sugar (6 tablespoons) until thick and pale, about 5 minutes. Fold cooled chocolate into the yolks along with the vanilla and rum. In a separate glass or metal bowl, whip egg whites until foamy. Gradually add remaining sugar while continuing to whip to medium stiff peaks. Fold egg whites into the chocolate mixture in thirds. Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
- Bake for 45 to 50 minutes in the preheated oven, until the top of the cake is puffed and cracked. A wooden pick inserted into the cake will still have some moist crumbs attached. Cool cake in the pan over a wire rack. The top will fall.
- Place 1 pound of chocolate in a metal bowl. Heat cream to boiling in a saucepan. Pour hot cream over chocolate, and stir until smooth. Bowl may be set over a pan of simmering water if the chocolate is not able to melt completely from the heat of the cream.
- Press down gently on the top of the cake to make it uniformly flat. Remove sides from the cake pan, and invert cake onto a plate. Remove parchment paper from the bottom. Ladle warm ganache over the top, and spread out to cover sides. Wipe drips from the plate, and let stand until set.

Tips:
- Use high-quality chocolate. The better the chocolate, the better the cake will taste. Look for chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70%.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the cake tough. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the cake at the right temperature. The cake should be baked at a moderate temperature (350 degrees Fahrenheit) for 30-35 minutes. A toothpick inserted into the center of the cake should come out clean when it is done.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help the frosting to set properly.
- Be creative with your frosting. You can use any type of frosting you like, from a simple buttercream to a more elaborate chocolate ganache. You can also add flavorings, such as vanilla extract or espresso powder, to the frosting.
- Serve the cake immediately or store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Conclusion:
Willy Q's Chocolate Truth Cake is a delicious and decadent cake that is perfect for any occasion. With its rich chocolate flavor and moist texture, this cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a special dessert, give this cake a try.
