  Well, mine is in the oven right now and I was just getting the icing ingredients in the bowl and thought that the condensed milk was a bit runny and said to myself, 'oh, I thought it was thicker than that' (I've never used it before - novice baker!) Then I looked at the can I'd grabbed from the cupboard and it was actually evaporated milk!! Oh well, I'll let you know how it turns out ... think I'll have to add some icing sugar maybe like frolo 743 suggested, lol! : )

  Great all rounder chocolate cake. Have made loads of times and its so quick and easy to put together, and most important of all it tastes absolutely gorgous if your a self confessed chocoholic :-)

  This is the second time of baking this cake. It really is an impressive cake... easy to make and tastes like a proper rich chocolate cake should! I have added a link on my Facebook page and half a dozen of my friends have also made the cake and loved it! All three of my children have put in a request for this cake to be their birthday cake. Yay to cake!!

  Such a good cake. And as I'm a massive chocoholic, I added milk and white chocolate chips: )

  Delicious cake! I followed the advice of another reviewer and only used two and a half spoonfuls of cocoa powder. It turned out perfect.

  I made this cake twice this week, once for the school graduation and once for my son's nursery school. Usually I like to test a recipe but I went out on a limb! For the graduation I used gold glitter and silver balls to decorate it and made the second one just like the picture. Needless to say I got the cakebox home empty. It such an easy cake to make in hurry. And you'll be asked for seconds.

  The recipe in the Australian BBC Good Food Magazine was slightly different and used milk chocolate for the cake and the icing, which makes it super sweet, super delicious and more kid friendly. I popped the un-iced cake into the freezer, and it managed to retain all it's delicious texture and flavour! I made this for my husband's birthday and he loved it, especially the icing! A real hit! Check out the Aussie version on my blog... http://www.theannoyedthyroid.com/2012/06/19/chocolate-fudge-cake/

  After reading all the great reviews, I decided to make this & take it to my sisters for tea yesterday. I was so disappointed with this recipe! no-one said it was nice either. It was very sweet & didn't really taste as luscious as I was expecting. The sponge wasn't very 'spongey' either. Definitely won't make again :(

  Fab chocolate cake went down well with all the family so much so need to make another one! Came out exactly as the picture. I left the cake in the tin until completely cool then poured over the icing which kind of pooled in the corners making the edge slices extra yummy. Once set lift out using the edges of the paper and then peel the paper away to slice. Do wonder how important the sour cream is as it is not an ingredient I usually have in the fridge.

  Lovely cake, very easy and delicious! Not all that fudgy, slightly dry at the corners, and the icing dribbled off the sides but it tasted great! Not too rich, 5 tbsps cocoa was fine, but I'm not sure what the sour cream really added. I'll definitely make this for friends' birthdays in the future! :)

  I made this cake for my brother's birthday and the whole family loved it. The cake was beautifully moist and the icing complemented it really well. The icing had just the right consistency too. I used Co-op 50% dark chocolate which gave the cake a rich chocolate taste without being sickly. Also wasn't too expensive to make. I decorated mine with chocolate curls rather than hundreds and thousands.

  I have a problem with this cake! I've made it twice now and twice its fallen apart when I've taken out of the tin! Arghhh....why! Help?! Apart from that the cake it self is delicious :) Just in case you think the answer is it's under cooked I don't think that's the problem as the knife came out clean when I prodded it about :( Thanks
