- Comments: "I was at a conference in West Vancouver, British Columbia, when I discovered Salmon House on the Hill," writes Beth D'Ambrosio of Pittsford, New York. "The one thing more breathtaking than the restaurant's view was dessert: a slice of impossibly rich chocolate cake topped with raspberry sorbet."
- This dense and fudgy flourless chocolate cake isn"t baked - it"s steamed on top of the stove. The cake will puff up while it steams and fall as it cools.
