    Delicious! I drizzled white chocolate over the top and re-warmed in the microwave before serving- even more scrumptious!

    Have I died and gone to heaven?!? For chocolate lovers, puddings don't come any better than this! Forget the fresh fruit and indulge yourself with a scoop of vanilla icecream for pure ambrosia!

    I made this in a square tin and cut into 16 pieces. it worked a treat and the size of the tin meant that the pieces were fairly evenly cooked - even the edge pieces were moist and chewy, and extremely chocolatey.

    Not impressed with this one - hard on the edges but still too runny in the middle. "Best ever brownies" is a lot better recipe.

    I can see why this has so many ratings. So easy to make and perfect results everytime. My kids insist on this every fortnight and it's always perfect. I bake mine in a square silicone mould and cut into bars so everyone gets an equal portion!

    I added hazelnuts. The cake was completely liquid in the middle after 30 minutes, I left it in for another 10 minutes. The cake was very stodgy, still a bit liquid, I cut it into wedges and put it in the fridge. On day 2 it was fantastic! Definitely needs to be left in the fridge overnight !

    I used Lindt 70% cocoa chocolate and it went down a treat during our Valentine's dinner. Maximum Brownie points (pardon the pun)

    OMG...couldn't be easier...this was fab, whipped it up during my son's 9th birthday while he and his friends were outside playing. Sank quite a bit, but then filled the hollow with some double cream and topped with raspberries....devoured that evening. Nearly too good for kids, the adults seemed to enjoy more and it def has the stick to the roof of your mouth texture. Will add nuts next time and perhaps make in a tray, thank you good food!

    Very yummy and chocolatey, the children liked it too. Cooked my first attempt for 30 mins, but was a bot too crispy on the outside so will cook for 25 mins this time. Tell me though, should the sugar be completely dissolved or still a bit granular?
