I have made this cake twice and I think its a favorite chocolate cake. I made it for family and I don't think they appreciated it.The fact that it's so moist is what I like, also the spices are terrific. I like to try new spice combinations. Good program.

A delicious and unique chocolate cake! If you plan to make this recipe be adivised that on the TV episode, Bal uses 1 cup raw sugar, 1 teaspoon ground fennel seeds, 1 teaspoon ground cardamom and 1 teaspoon white vinegar. Also, if you are wondering what type of vegetable oil she used on the TV episode, it was grapeseed oil, but she also said you can use canola or any type of vegetable oil you like. I made the recipe using the quantities I saw her use on TV. I topped the cake with an easy chocolate icing from Ellie Krieger that goes really well with this recipe. You make it by dissolving 1/2 cup confectioner's or icing sugar in a tablespoon of milk in a saute pan over low heat, then adding 1 1/2 ounces finely chopped dark chocolate and stirring until melted and having the consistency of thick pancake batter. (You can add more milk if necessary. While still warm, top the cake with the icing. Let icing harden completely before serving.

This cake was extremely sinful, very different then what I was expecting. It was not overly sweet like most cakes, but still sweet and moist. A great spongy texture, melt in your mouth cake. Warning!- If you are not use to spices this might be a bit much. If you are use to spices this is very aromatic, warm and chocolately.

Delicious! I baked in a 7 inch tube pan instead. Not quite as beautifully domed, but it shortened the cooking time by 10 minutes. Also added 1/2 tsp dried Orange peel. I have a weakness for chocolate and orange as well as fennel and citrus. Worked out really well. Will definitely be making this again... I like the quickness of assembly and then simply into the oven while I finish dinner. Awesome!

So easy to make! The cardamom and fennel gave great flavor, and set it apart from any chocolate cake I've ever had. I made this just like the recipe, but in the episode Bal used twice as many spices and I will try that next time since they were so good.
