There doesn't appear to be a "standard" definition of chocolate decadence,
but it generally means a flourless (or nearly flourless) chocolate torte.
It's very dense and intensely chocolatey. I follow the chocolate torte
recipe in _The Cake Bible_ and serve it with whipped cream and some kind of
dessert sauce: Raspberry sauce, orange sauce, cherry sauce, apricot sauce,
and coffee syrup all work well. Praline liqueur, brandy (or a Brandy
Alexander), or Kahlua are also nice accompaniments.
