MATILDA'S CHOCOLATE CAKE

Matilda is the character of the book by Dahl and its movie. In the scene, Bruce gets punished by Ms Trunchbull for stealing her cake. He has to eat a three-layer chocolate cake in front of the school.

Deep, dark, unapologetically chocolatey: this is Matilda’s cake, the kind of rich, fudgy bake that feels a little rebellious and very, very indulgent. Recipe by Bake With Zoha.
