  I am extremely disappointed that you call yourselves 'good food' yet have used Tescos bread. I would like to see you supporting the independent retailer who offer a far better selection of gluten free products. A BIG thumbs down to you :(

  These were awful, they just fell apart, all the pecans fell off, they were nowhere near sweet enough, I've just wasted my beautiful dark chocolate on these, will never ever make again and would tell anyone else not to bother trying.

  Unlike others, I think this cake is wonderful. I have made it a few times last year and it was always the first to go in the parties. People were asking for recipe. Everybody loved it. It didn't fall to peaces and it was beautifully moist and chocolaty. I have experimented with chocolate a bit by using chocolate with mint bits. And instead of gluten free bread used normal white bread (because it was easier to find) :) Will make it again.

  It does easily fall apart, but has got a nice taste of rich dark chocolate and it is not too sweet. Will make it again.

  This is a lovely chocolate recipe, I used good quality chocolate. Also used my homemade breadcrumbs. But for a nice touch I put small chunks of white chocolate in the mixture before baking. Will definitley make again! 27 July 2010

  This cake was a sure success. So chocolatey and delicious. I did less caster sugar and less butter , to try lessen d calories and it still came out OK. I was wondering whether next time I use 3 instead of 4 eggs. Any advise?
