The Matilda<\/em> chocolate cake is from the scene where Miss Trunchbull punishes poor Bruce Bogtrotter for eating a slice of her \"personal\" chocolate cake<\/a> by forcing him to polish off an entire cake on his own while the whole school looks on in horror.\r\n\r\nGood news: This cake is no longer just a work of fiction (and dare we say better than Ina Garten's chocolate cake<\/a>). You can make the chocolate cake of your dreams (hopefully not your nightmares) a reality with our rendition of this iconic chocolate cake.\r\n\r\nBetter get baking, or the Trunchbull might put you in The Chokey.\r\n

Miss Trunchbull's Chocolate Cake from 'Matilda'<\/h2>\r\n\"Matilda\r\n\r\nGet ready to enjoy three layers of the most intense and moist chocolate cake<\/a> you'll ever eat paired with decadent chocolate mousse<\/a> and a glossy ganache-style brown butter fudge frosting. Don't worry, we've omitted Cookie's sweat and blood from our recipe, but you may include them if you're committed to authenticity.\r\n\r\nTip: Homemade fudge can be a little fussy, but it\u2019s easy to make if you avoid these\u00a0common fudge mistakes<\/a>.<\/em>\r\n

This recipes yields one 8-inch round cake with three layers.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
