Chocolate Pull-Me-Up Cake Recipe
The dessert known as Pull Me Up cake is also commonly referred to as Tsunami cake. Its popularity stems from the mesmerizing sight of pulling a sheet of chocolate and watching it cascade slowly over the cake, which immediately entices those who witness it. The allure of this cake lies in the fun and whimsical effect of the frosting tumbling over the cake, which is a delight to behold.
