  Nice cake. I iced it with chocolate butter icing instead of the chocolate glaze though.

  The very best eggless chocolate cake and the topping is amazing. I made this for my mother who is allergic to eggs and she loved it. Served it with cream as a desert.

  Fantastic recipe! made it for a friend's birthday & it was a lovely cake! I did put buttercream & smarties on it, but I am sure the glaze would be lovely as well :)

  Excellent recipe. The best eggless cake recipe I've found! I used soya margarine instead of butter to make it dairy and egg free for my daughter who has allergies. A big success!!

  I realised at the last moment that I didn't have any golden syrup so substituted malt extract and the cake turned out beautifully. I'll definitely make this again.

  My mother used to make this same recipe or one very like it - I asked for it twice and each time lost it, so delighted to find it again! I always use honey instead of syrup and have a bit of a heavier hand with the cocoa :) . I also use regular butter icing simply because it's impossible to keep bars of chocolate in the store cupboard! It was a real triumph when I was cooking for a vegan to find a chocolate cake recipe that beats your average chocolate cake hands down. Rich and moist but not sickly, this is simply the best chocolate cake recipe, thanks archie!

  Hi guys i have tried and tried again to make this cake, the first time, it worked a treat so i know it works but since that first time, it just wont cook properly and i end up throwing it away. Any ideas? I seem to be left with small balls of uncooked (but not gooey) bits inside the cake. Pls help!!

  I followed you recipe and added grated rind of half an orange to the mix.when baked -and I needed another 10 min) I poured over the juice ( drizzle cake style for more moisture) . Made to include non egg eating veggie friend, but feedback from everyone was very positive. A gooey moist lovely cake that was easy to make and relatively inexpensive. Thanks Archie
