    Just made this. It is absolutely gorgeous but mine cooked a bit too quickly (oven runs hot) so is a bit crispy on the outside and very runny on the inside, more like a sticky chocolate pudding than a brownie. I think it has firmed up a bit since I tasted it mind as I was a bit impatient and didn't wait 30 minutes for it too cool! It was so yummy I'm trying a dairy free version for my son. Really easy to make too.

    I am rubbish at making cakes and deserts they never go right. I thought I would give this one a try as many comments said how easy it was. It came out lovely, I will make again but doubt not too often as it is really naughty but very very good. Perfect.

    Oh my goodness... This went down an absolute treat with my family when I took it as a pudding. I served it with creme fraiche. Think they were a little gutted that I hadn't made double. It's also a doddle to make.

    Great, easy chocolate cake to make without needing any fussy equipment- very, very rich so goes a long way. I made a berry coulis to put on the top, which balanced out flavours well. Definately will be making again. Made with self-raising flour as had no baking powder- but turned out fine.

    Amazing! My all-time favourite pudding. Ridiculously simple to make considering it tastes so good. Delicious straight from the oven with a generous dollop of whipped cream, equally delicious heated in the microwave the next day - gooey and gorgeous!

    My husband absolutely loved this cake, it was best served warm with some whipped cream, might think about it as a desert for the next dinner party.

    This is just like the brownies out of a box; I am so impressed. No way to eat a slice the size shown in the picture; a quarter would be manageable and then with ice cream as it really is a lot...but very nice.

    Fantastic recipe, have made it twice in the last four days. Kids adore it, and its super easy and quick to make. Will have to make double next time as it just doesn't last long enough in my house.
