  This may well be the perfect "every day" chocolate cake - not too rich, light & moist. I used half fat creme fraiche & found I needed to add some icing sugar to the frosting to stop it dripping off the cake. Everyone who's had some so far loves it.

  Really yummy, but very rich. Worked brilliantly as a dessert slightly warmed with ice cream and strawberries but I could only manage a small slice with a cuppa tea! Lovely though :)

  I have never seen soured cream here in Malta. I know you can add lemon to cream to make your own but I am never sure on quantities and time. If anyone can offer any help on this one because the cake looks lovely!

  My oh my fantabulous!!!!!! Loved it, I used 2 1/2 tablespoons of cocoa though and it turned out great. Was worried 5 tablespoons would be too much and am glad I reduced it. The best chocolate cake ever. Ursla, I would use plan whole milk yogurt in place of soured cream

  I only have 70% plain chocolate does anyone think it will make an adverse result? I think I may buy some different chocolate as it could be a waste.

  Lovely cake but incredibly rich. :) I left out the sour cream, just because I don't really like the taste of it, and it still turned out fine! I will make again!

  I gave it 5 stars as it was delicious. However despite using the corrcet size tin it came over the top and also I do think it is more like a brownie recipe both in the method and taste. I had no problem with the icing and it just needs to be left to cool as the texture is different and doesnt run. Not sure I would make it again as I have made better brownie recipes and better chocolate cake recipes,though itwas very easy

  Absolutely lovely. Seemed like a lot of ingredients but it was really easy to make. It would be nice without the icing, served warm with some ice cream.

  I've just baked this and used two round tins because I didn't have the recommended tin and I have sandwiched them together with some chocolate icing! Very easy to make and yummy! Great with a cup of tea :o)
