Extra chocolate cheesecake cake

This dessert is more like a cheesecake: delicate, melt-in-your-mouth and very chocolatey! You don't eat it, you savor it – close your eyes to feel the delicate velvety texture and richness of flavor…

The cake is very simple to make, so there will be no step-by-step photos (and I've been running out of time lately). The author of the recipe – Israeli chef Israel Aharoni (published on Nina Tarasova's blog).

I highly recommend it!
