SUPER EASY CHOCOLATE CAKE

Tarta de chocolate súper fácil

This is the first weekend in about a month and a half where I can actually relax, because I don’t have to work. “Back to school” period in September is always intense. I have my new ideas for projects and clients also have their own ideas they want to implement after summer.


October is usually also quick-paced, but luckily this year a bit less so. New opportunities have come up and I have new photo shoots, so my camera will stay pretty busy. But the truth is that I haven’t really had that much time for myself. I did manage to find some time to prepare this chocolate cake, because a friend from Madrid came to visit me. She was on business, so she was only going to stay in La Coruña for a few hours and after having lunch in a restaurant in the center, I invited her home to have coffee and a piece of this delicious cake.

This is a favorite of mine. It’s super simple and quick, so I frequently make it when I feel like having something sweet, but I haven’t got the time for elaborate recipes.
