  Pretty quick. Best thing about this cake is not over powering sweetness. I've added almond flakes to decorare as well as Cadbury flake.

  Hubby's new favourite. So easy to make and not overly rich.

  Made this but was not over impressed but then I'm not really a chocolate person. Made it as a birthday cake and didn't use the suggested icing. Would not make it again, foung it heavy and very rich.

  Of what relevance to the recipe are the last 3 posts????? I would like to make this cake and am interested to read the feedback before doing so. Can we stick to the subject? Haven't you heard of e-mail?

  Not impressed at all, complete waste of ingredients. The cake hardly rose and does have quite a strange taste to it. It may be because of the amount of cocoa powder added in, so it tastes slightly bitter. The best bit about the cake is the icing, but I didn't use the recipe and instead made a simple chocolate ganache (200ml double cream and 200g dark chocolate).

  I'm gluten free so couldn't try it but my OH decided to make this for my daughter's birthday and although he had never baked before it looked fabulous and he managed to follow the instructions very easily. As for the taste test it had a huge thumbs up from everyone and left me drooling :)
