I had tried changing the recipe a bit with a chocolate whipped cream, with added liqueur or some lemon zest. In the end, I still settle with this version.

I also used Magnum dark chocolate. It contains raw cacao nibs which adds a nice subtle crunch. If you can't find any Magnum dark chocolate, you can use any good quality dark chocolate with 1 TBSP of finely chopped raw cacao nibs.

The cake will rise and crack during baking process, then collapsed after cooling down. It is great and you want that collapsed effect.
