Gateau suisse
Tea
My mother made this cake for us on special occasions -- it's rich beyond belief, a smooth, silky chocolate extravaganza. I don't know where the recipe came from, or why it's called "Swiss Cake" in French -- but I promise you'll love a thin slice of it, chilled, with a dollop of softly whipped cream or creme fraiche. I've written the recipe here exactly as my mother gave it to me 25 years ago. It's lovely decorated with candied violets or other flowers.
