  Made this for friends this week and we all loved it! Yes it was a little flat but it was light and tasty (helped by the fresh ginger I grated into the mix). I omitted the coffee, used gluten-free flour, whisked plenty and folded flour in carefully. Works for me. :-)

  I was absolutley devasted with the outcome of this shambolic recipe. The "sponges" were as flat as frisbees and almost as hard. The filling was absolutley ghastly. I am really disappointed with this. This is the worst recipe I have ever tried. I wouldn't ever recommend this to ANYONE. :)

  Do not make this cake! I baked it as a birthday surprise - what a dreadful one! It was as flat as a pancake going to make a different one now - but what a waste of money!

  This recipe is truly terrible. I made the chocolate sponge from another recipe; which unsuprisingly was fine. The filling and the topping for this recipe, however, were an unmitigated disaster. Fortunately I am quietly confident in my own ability to read so I know that the fact the 'filling' turned out to be more of a soup, was not my fault. Avoid.

  I attempted to make this cake and it didn't end well. I ended up using a different cake recipe but keeping the icing and filling the same and that ended well.

  I made this cake last week and must say it came out as i hoped it would, a little dry but this can be remedied by using a bit chocolate spread lightly on the top of one cake and then add some whipped cream on top and then sandwhich together you can also add some whipped cream to the top of the cake and then put chocolate shavings ontop.

  this was terrible, the only thing that was good about this cake was the sponge. Yes it was light and fluffy but had no taste, it was dry and very sour. I agree that this recipe should be taken off the site! I just wish I had read the comments before I started making it! Lesson learnt! :((((

  I seemed to have had the exact same problem others. So disappointed as it looked and sounded great. It went in the bin!

  We followed the recipe completely and the sponge did not rise at all and was totally inedible. It was terrible and we are very disappointed in this recipe. We wasted time and money on this.

  I made this cake for first time, with a few alterations. I changed the filling to butter-cream and also used it as a topping. Both me and my family enjoyed this cake thoroughly and I will be sure to make it again.
