How To: Bake a chocolate soufflé cake with strawberry topping

Now you don't have to prepare the cake fully before your guests arrive, now you can bake it while they're there, tempting them with a cake "straight out of the oven!" This chocolate soufflé cake is delicious warm, too! Watch the full video recipe for baking chocolate soufflé cake with Chef Hubert Keller.
