I’d been eyeing this cake for ages, waiting for the right excuse to make it. When a dear chocolate-obsessed friend’s birthday rolled around, I knew it was time. This recipe has had a cult following online for years—first beloved by Ina Garten, who shared it in her 2006 cookbook, passed down from her friend Michael’s grandmother, Beatty. Since then, it’s become the go-to chocolate cake for food lovers everywhere. Including me.
