Recipe For Desire inspired me to find this recipe. . .Devon would be proud
Let me say, I'm not a cook. I struggle with grilled cheese sometimes.
But Devon Harris used food to love and seduce Marie Charles (and a lot of other women, but we're not going to bring up his Paris past -- yet).
While he was a student in Paris, he created a chocolate cake called, A Lover's Cake. On the menus in France, it reads, gateau d'amoureux at Le Bouquet des Archives.
Devon is pretty closed mouth on his recipe for this cake, but he assures me this cake here comes close.
