Regarding celebrations, each southern knows that dessert can never be overlooked. And although we like to add new recipes to our rotation, there is something comforting in the family favorites that have been transmitted by generations. We have learned some of our best grandmother’s recipes, especially with regard to dessert. And although we always make room for fruit shins and creamy cheese cakes, there is something out of high and really decadent on those with chocolate. Here are the chocolate desserts, pies cakes, they loved, and you too.

You were probably in your grandmother’s kitchen when you learned that the secret of this rich and humid cake is a basic food from the south. Mayonnaise gives this cake a velvety crumb and an intense chocolate flavor thanks to its ingredients – oil, eggs and vinegar.

While the Lemon Pound cake is designed for about the time of the day, this rich and chocolatey version makes it a decadent step. It is delicious as is, or garnish with an ice cream, a net of caramel or chocolate sauce, or a spoonful of freshly whipped cream.

If you’ve never tried a pudding cake, consider that sign to do it. A pudding cake is not made with pudding but rather makes a sauce similar to a pudding flowing at the bottom of the cake. In this rich chocolate pudding cake, a fudgy sauce worthy of being neat is created.
Probably the most popular dessert in the potluck or family reunion, this rich and creamy pie is worth at each stage. With a chocolate crust and a chocolate garnish, it is decadent in every sense of the word.
