I don't have any images of my own of this chocolate dump-it cake, decorated, but looking at the numerous photos on the Food52 website (in the recipe), it seems to be just like any other frosted cake. (One photo shows a very smooth finish.).
I don't see why you couldn't decorate it! I did a quick Google search for "hesser dump it cake" and selected image results and saw a few decorated Amanda Hesser chocolate dump-it cakes, one with nuts sprinkled on it, and another with colored sprinkles. You could also do a piped decoration, perhaps opting for a coffee or praline buttercream, or a booze-spiked ganache.
Oh goodness, now I want to leave my office to go bake one these, and decorate it, now! ;o)
