Gregg's Restaurant and Pub, in Providence, Rhode Island, is famous for its version of death by chocolate cake.

Obama even visited the restaurant and ordered the chocolate cake, saying that "The word is that the chocolate-layer cake here is deadly and it's devilish, and so for Halloween, this is the kind of sin that we want to commit".

He noted that he would share the 20-pound cake with the members of his crew on Air Force One.

While this cake does not weigh 20 pounds, it's still just as delicious and perfect for sharing with family and friends.
