This sounds so good, that although we will be in Wyoming, skiing over Valentine's weekend, I plan on packing some excellent chocolate and my springform pan so that I can make this cake for my wife on Valentine's day. May need to try to smuggle some Banyuls too! Thanks!

Banyuls in a flask while skiing makes you ski better.

Oh my. Many years ago, I had a recipe from an old food magazine for a similar cake that I made often for special occasions, and I've been trying to track down something similar for ages. This is just what I have been looking for!
