Chocolate Fondant Cake

So the name of this cake is really lame, but it is pretty much like chocolate fondant/chocolate cheesecake-tasting mix of chocolatey yumminess. I was not able to get it to flip out of the pan onto a plate (it broke in half so no picture for you) but I think it is really good and I ran out of cocoa to dust the pan with so maybe next time it will work out better.
