  This was really easy to make - even for someone like me who has never been that good at making cakes - and it tasted amazing. The sour cream/milk chocolate icing was very sweet on its own, but it worked very well with the cake. I didn't split the sponge, instead I just iced the top of the cake.

  This cake is sooooo delicious! Everybody loved it at home. I used dark chocolate and some extra (unsalted) pistachios. I also added a little amaretto liqueur in the chocolate icing.

  Have made this several times now and find it's especially popular with those who do not have too sweet a tooth. Lovely treat!

  My husband absolutely loved this cake, even though he is extremely fussy about anything too creamy or cheesy-tasting (I still haven't told him the main ingredient in the icing!) so I guess that is the proof. Still, I hesitate to give the full 5 stars, simply because I found the icing far too sour-creamy and had to add extra bittersweet chocolate to it. Also, this is definitely an appliance-necessary recipe: I attempted to use a simple hand mixer for all the fine chopping required, and of course ended up with an multi-particle explosion all over the kitchen. As an amateur baker I like things simple - (hand) mix and go.

  Made this yesterday, it is a very nice cake, easy to make, I didn't split the cake just iced the top. I found the texture of this a bit strange, and also found it quite sweet. Still very nice though.

  This is very easy to make, tastes nice and the brown and green combination looks very well too. The sour cream makes the trick too.

  I've made this several times now, it's a bit unusual and looks and feels special, and it isn't overly chocolatey (which is never a problem for me, but not everyone in my husband's family shares my love of chocolate so it's a recipe which goes down well with everyone!). I have substituted some of the flour for cocoa sometimes when I wanted a bit more flavour, I haven't tried it with dark chocolate yet though. The sour cream topping is gorgeous.

  Nice moist sponge and tasty icing, but wish i'd used dark chocolate instead of milk, and stacking to make a double layer didn't work so well - the cake was pretty deep to begin with, so the small, tall squares just toppled really. Also wondering if my icing was supposed to be a bit stiffer. Nice taste, but perhaps a bit dense.

  I made this in a round tin and as a single layer with just the frosting on top. It was quite rich but i used dark chocolate. Everyone liked it and quite an easy cake to make!

  Pleasant cake and lovely to look at. I used dark chocolate in the cake and half dark, half milk for the topping. Something just a little bit different.
