Today Show: family recipe handed down from from Sasha Bunn's Dad- Christmas special. Please note that after the fact, the recipe may be incomplete since Ms Bunn's recipe is imcomplete on the today show site. Read more She refers to it as a chocolate mousse cake but there are no instructions indicatng a mousse is being made or whipped- just a cooked filling. I have taken the liberty to add my suggestions in the comment section below and I beleive experienced bakers probably can figure it out! Ingredients:

2 cups flour |
2 tablespoon cocoa powder |
1 tablespoon baking powder |
