A 500g Belgian chocolate cake of toasty hazelnut, deep chocolate textures & crackling french crisps. Nutty yet tender, bold yet reassuring; a little rough around the edges & impossibly soft at the centre. Much like the man himself.
Chef's Note
Dad was never the loud kind of hero. He was the one who quietly fixed whatever was broken, the motivation on days that were hard & somehow always turned up before we’d even thought to ask. When I dreamt up this cake, I wanted those same contradictions on a plate — nutty & a little rugged on the outside, soft & warm the moment you reach the middle. This one is for him & for every Dad who is somebody's whole world without ever asking to be.
