"Bestia Nera" Chocolate Cake

Decadent, silky, and rich flourless chocolate cake: Bestia Nera. A symphony of semi-sweet chocolate, cocoa powder, and brandy come together to create an Italian treat worthy of indulgence. A chocolate lovers heaven!

Back in 1981, Molly and Thomas Broder took an inspirational trip to the culinary capital of Bologna, Italy, and they returned to the States with a goal of bringing authentic Italian food and fresh-made pasta to Minneapolis. The following year, they opened Broders’ Cucina Italiana, and since then (along with additional restaurants, including a nearby “pasta bar”) it’s become a cornerstone of the community, and one of the very best Italian restaurants and markets in America.
