OK. . .so I made the wonderful Killer Chocolate Cake recipe from the recipe section of this site. While I have to admit. . .it's absolutely fab and sooooo moist. Only problem I encountered is that it is so fudgy that it is hard to cut neatly. . .sticks to the knife, etc. Any ideas from chef/expert baker that will help firm it up a bit without loosing it's awesome-ness? I need it to hold up under fondant, if possible.

Thanks!

If the recipe is so good I just think that you should warm your knife before cutting with hot water, clean and cut, you have to do that every time you slice, but donât change the recipe.

My pleasure, use just hot water and clean the knife before cutting.

Sorry, what I meant was that in the recipe it says to use water or coffee for the liquid in the cake-- not what liquid to wipe the knife in-- hehe!

Lol, I misunderstood... the chocolate cake is always improve by using coffee or strong coffee, that's what I would do. I have a nice chocolate recipe but if you want to share yours maybe I can take a look to it.
