I don't know why but sometimes, combinig sweet with savoury really makes wonders. In this case there are two of them - rich chocolate centre and creamy, light topping. So please, do not be afraid of these uncommon ingredients and just bake this cake. Finish it with some fresh stone fruits and you will have the ultimate rustic summer dessert!
