Matilda is one of those beloved family films that's some how equally

traumatizing and heart warming at the same time (ditto goes for the 

OC willy wonky &The chocolate factory)

Despite the childhood trauma the film caused for some it also 

became the reference point for many when it comes to picturing 

the absolute best chocolate cake ever.

If you 've seen the film you know what were referring to.

The Matilda chocolate cake is from the scene where 

miss TRUNCHBULL punishes poor Bruce Bogtrotter

for eating a slice of her personal chocolate 

cake by forcing him to polish off an entire

cake on his own while the whole 

school looks on in horror.

 

                                                                                       

 Good news this cake is no longer just a work of 

fiction (and dare we say better than  chocolate cake you can make the chocolate 

cake of your dreams (hopefully not your nightmares ) a reality with our rendition of this iconic

chocolate cake.

                                                                         

Get ready to enjoy three layers of the most intense and moist chocolate

cake you'll ever eat paired with decadent chocolate mousse and a glossy

cookie's sweat and blood from our recipe but you may include 

them it you're committed to authenticity.

In the bowl of a stand mixer combine the remaining cream with 

the powdered sugar and then whip the cream to stiff peaks 

about minutes. 

Gradually fold the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture.

Work slowly and carefully so you don't deflate the cream.

Continue to fold the mixture together until it is evenly

mixed then cover and place it in the 

refrigerator for at least 2 hours 

or up to 2 days.

Editor's tip this cake is a labor of love (no wonder miss TRUNCHBULL  was upset 

Bruce ate a slice) We suggest prepping the mousse 

a day ahead of for the night before)

baking the cake layers and assembling to ensure

the mousse is fully set.

In a separate large bow 

whisk together the creek yogurt oil vanilla and eggs. Make a well in the dry 

ingredients and pour in the egg mixture . Stir gently until the dry ingredients 

are almost fully incorporated. pour in the hot coffee (aka the secret 

ingredient for chocolate desserts ) and whisk it 

in to the batter until fully incorporated.
