Directions
Mexican Chocolate Streusel Cake (Pastel De Chocolate Mexicano), This is a Rick Bayless recipe I made this for a Mexican themed dinner party and thought I’d died and gone to heaven when I took a bite! Oh soooo good!! Be sure to use Mexican chocolate, as it is different from all others This cake is best when slightly warm and would go great with vanilla, caramel or cinnamon ice cream, but is also wonderful all by itself , Can other chocolate be used?
