Devilish Chocolate Cake Choco Diavolo

After reading the book I was inspired to make something delicious, something sinful, and I didn’t have to go out of the house, but went straight to my humble kitchen and made Choco Diavolo a Devilish Chocolate Cake.
I thought of giving this beauty a tree log shape to mimic the huge and tall trees in the dark forests.
To know more about why the Novel Hellbound was able to bring this cake out of me, and to get the recipe of course, read what my sister Su has written below.
