  such a different way of making a cake without using the mixer. The cake was gorgeous and the topping just right. I used smarties on mine which made it equally colourful. It tastes even better day after after being in the fridge as topping has hardened. I will use the right size tin next time as mine came out a bit flater after using a slightly larger tin. Lush!

  Delish!!!! Really easy to make, took a bit longer in the oven than suggested but came out perfect all the same. Great for a quicky birthday cake. Will definately make again.

  The cake is lovely but the icing wouldn't set even though I left it in the fridge. Maybe I could boil it for a few minutes? Ate it anyway but with a fork!!

  I don't know where I went wrong with this cake. It took 1 hr 10 mins to cook before the skewer came out clean but had cracked and when it cooled it was hard on the top and dry. I used 5 rounded tbsp of cocoa powder which seemed far too much. The icing was a nightmare because it was too runny and even though I put it in the fridge to try and make it become spreadable, it never did. I had to pour it on and it all ran off. So disappointed as had made it for my boyfriend's birthday cake. Had to transport it in the car to his house too which didn't help! He eats most things, but even he said it wasn't one of my best cakes. Very disappointed.

  Absolutley gorgeous turned out perfect, warmed up in microwave for 30 secs and served with vanilla ice cream. Did take about 1hour an half in oven though, well worth it

  I LOVED the method of making this cake and also the icing. Only slight complaint is that I think there is a touch too much cocoa which gives it a slightly "dry" taste. Will make again, but with half the amount of cocoa powder

  I made this recipe in June and found it delicious. I made it again this weekend but used victoria sandwich tins and buttercream to sandwich the 2 halves together. I entered it in the local village fete and it won first prize. Thank you Good Food.

  I made this cake for my birthday celebrations - it was absolutely gorgeous and turned out just like the photo! I used gluten free flour as I have coeliac disease and added 1/2 teaspoon gluten free baking powder and 1/4 teaspoon xanthan gum. It did take a little longer to cook in my oven, about 1 hr 20-30 mins. I will definately be making this one again - fab cake and such a simple method.

  Hi, I did not use the sponge recipe above as I have my own which uses less fat similar to the jaffa drizzle sponge. I attempted the icing and it went straight down the drain. Sadly it did not thicken when left to cool, so I try to save it by re-heating it adding cornflour, however the mixture did not agree with this and the fat and chocolate started to seperate so did a chocolate butter icing. My advise it give it a go as it worked for some, but be prepared for disappointment if goes wrong.
