This recipe channels an iconic, lost (its inventor, the commercial bakery Ebinger’s, went out of business in 1972), and obsessed-over New York City chocolate dessertcake — the Brooklyn Blackout Cake, a three-layer devil’s food cake slathered with chocolate pudding and frosting and dramatically covered with cake crumbs — and reinterprets it as a dessert pizza on homemade cocoa dough. While it’s a bit of a labor of love, the result is a showstopper, with various layers of chocolate and texture.
While baking, the dough may start to bubble in places with no chips, and the chips may slightly darken and burn. Most imperfections will be forgiven post-bake, as you slather chocolate chips over the dough base.
From wood-fired flavour to gas-powered consistency to electrified convenience, you can use Ooni's portable pizza ovens in the kitchen, backyard or beyond.
