  Gorgeous cake very moist. I would make the cake mix more chocolatey next time, so would miss out the coffee.The caramel pieces in the cake and the icing are yummy.Definitely one for showing off with.

  Cooked this cake in my fan oven but didnt need anywhere near the time it says and it still came out a bit dry and crumbly. The topping was gorgeus though so just ate that and reheated the cake with some extra chocolate to moisten it up!!

  Left out the coffee part as we just wanted a chocolate cake, but did everything else as per the recipe. A beautifully moist cake, was delicious! Definitely one for chocoholics, NOT one for people trying to lose weight! This should be renamed Death by Chocolate. A real hit with my fiance!

  Agreed! A great cake! I used a 23 cm round cake, which shortened the cooking time to 30 minutes. I also simply put all the ingredients in a food processor and folded the caramel into the mixture with a spatula. Excellent!!!!!

  Can anyone tell me what kind of chocolate caramel bars to use? Dime bars? Cadburys caramel bars? or caramel flavour chocolate like Caramac?

  A hit with my guests. The icing was a little runnier than maybe I would have liked. Also I used Cadbury's caramel - should I have broken the individual segments in half as they did not seem to break down with the cooking process very well. I would make this again though and try to improve my cooking technique!

  I also left out the coffee as I wanted a chocolate cake, I used cadbury's caramel bars, just broke them into segments and they melted o.k. my icing was a bit runny so it didn't sit on top like the picture, but it was delicious, the whole family loved it. I would also use the icing recipe on different cakes as it was so yummy. Mmmmmmmmmm

  Followed the recipe exactly (used cadbury's caramel) and kept in the coffee as even though I'm not a coffee drinker, I do feel that coffee really enhances the flavour of the chocolate and caramel with it's bitter contrast. Not many people have mentioned the cooking time but I checked the cake at 40 mins and it was still very wobbly when moved so I checked it every 5 mins from then on and cooked it for a total of 55 mins on Fan 160c (at this point the skewer came out clean and the top sprang back). Unfortunately, I don't get to sample this cake as it's my first one and going straight to my Husband's Work Colleague so he will have to be my constructive taster!!! Smells great, looks great and is a very similar mix to Mary Berry's Definitive Chocolate Cake which is gorgeous! My only tip is to make sure that you get a nice flat surface with the back of a spoon once the mixture is in the tin (and the same for Mary Berry's Definitive Chocolate Cake mix)!
