  Loved this cake, also great with chocolate sauce and ice cream. Would definitely make it again but wouldn't bother with the topping as didn't consider it did a lot and mine fell off!

  This is a great cake, very light and moist although if you use really good quality chocolate the cadbury lovers may find it quite strong. :o) I love it tho!

  Cake was a winner,I will make this again very soon. did not make 2 cakes as the receipe suggested, I used a 1Kg tin instead, but it needed more time cooking, extra 25mins gas oven.

  Made this with the streusel topping and definitely worth the small effort involved although did have to add more flour than the generous 2 tablespoons stated in the recipe. Everybody loved it and I will be making it again soon.

  I made this in a large loaf tin too and it worked fine. I started making the cake before realising I'd run out of cocoa, so I used a little bit more melted chocolate instead. The cake was delicious, so it obviously didn't matter! I'd definitely make this again.

  What did I do wrong? It turned out like a lump of lead, really solid and heavy. Very disappointed.
