  Very nice cake!!! I found that when cooking it in my fan over the first time I tried it the edges were burnt (and that was only after 25 mins) The second time, I put it in non-fan for 15 and then 10 for fan oven and it was perfect!!! I couldnt manage the topping though...so I made chocolate fudge topping and it was lovely!!!

  Good recipe, although it does seem a bit odd when you're making it - I've not made a cake like that before. I found it very sweet, but could change to plain choc I suppose. Great for making for a big group and I'm taking some in for the school summer fete. I used a tin that was slightly bigger than 20 by 30, and it still came out good - not too flat.

  Very easy to make, although super calorific! Also made a mess of the topping. Melted the sugar and butter and then added the condensed milk and could not have been away from the pan more than 30 seconds and it had burnt :( At that stage, I had run out of caster sugar so I heated up the leftover condensed milk and melted in the choc drops and it was fine.

  nice easy recipe for the cake, but I also had problems with the icing. Mine also burnt when I put in the condensed milk, so I had lots of brown bits from the bottom and corners of the pan mixed in - thought it would have to go in the bin, but actually once I had let it cool and mixed in the chocolate it was ok and you could hardly see any of the burnt bits, and it didn't taste burnt either. Bit odd really!;)

  Thought this was great - have been looking for a nice chocolate cake mix and this one just hit the spot. Really chocolatey and slightly dense and sticky. The icing was also fab - though I did feel I might have to drive myself to the local cardiac unit when I saw how much butter and sugar (not to mention the condensed Mil) was in the whole thing. Still, what a way to go!!

  Lovely cake. I used chopped up cadburys buttons in the cake which were really nice although I did find the cake a bit dry. I couldn't get the topping right at all - mine ended up really runny and I found it to be very sugary. I'll make them again but probably not the topping and will add walnuts to make them more like brownies.

  The recipe for the sponge mix is really easy however i had problems with the icing. Luckily I had enough ingredients to try a second batch. I think the trick is to keep it on a low heat and just keep stirring until it boils. It takes a while but is worth the wait - don't get distracted by anything or it will end up burnt! The end result was delicious - yummy!!!!

  Really lovely cake, but mine didn't quite cook through in the middle. All the chocolate had sunk to the bottom and it was a little soggy. I couldn't find light condensed milk, so used full fat. The topping was suitably gooey and sticky. Lovely!

  Lovely cake and icing although troublesome for some worked a treat for me. If I make this cake it is always eaten within a day and the kids love it too. xx
