  This cake is definitely better when served with chocolate sauce as that makes it more moist. Interesting combination of tastes.

  A lovely slightly squidgy cake. I served it with some fresh soft fruit, just to ease my conscience ;-)

  This tasted great and was a lovely texture - but I had way to much mixture for the tin, so didn't put it all in, but even so it rose over the top of the tin. When I took it out of the oven is sank in the middle, so was not exactly a glamourous looking pud, but like I said, tasted great! The sauce was a revelation as well...never knew you could make chocolate sauce that way, although it was a little thin so I would probably use less water next time.

  Can I ask - is this really just 40g of sugar - with so much dark chocolate?
