  Followed instructions to the letter, but cake was dry and horrible. Ended up in the bin.

  Just made it today, tastes very good. I made some changes to the recipe. 5 tbsp of cocoa sounded too much, so I used only half. I made cup cakes, baked for only 20 minutes, but the top is a bit crusty, next time I'll reduce the baking time. I used white chocolate for the toping, and had to chill for about an hr to make it spreadable. The cup cakes look wonderful and tastes very good. Reducing two stars because of too much cocoa.

  Mel, it is called 'gecondenseerde melk' in Holland and most supermarkets will stock it. Have a look at the section with the coffee milk. The most common brand is Friesche Vlag and it comes in a tin.

  This is a lovely rich cake that is easy to make. I found the icing goes soft so not easy to store as i only have a small fridge. Next time i wouldn't put any spinkles on as it spoils the texture when eating it .Really great cake for a treat.

  This cake was yummy and easy to make. I thought it improved after a day in the tin - it became more fudge-like in consistency. Very rich but a small piece with a cup of tea was a treat! Also ate some warmed with ice-cream and that was good too. Have already made a second one for a fundraiser coffee morning.

  brilliantly easy to make, tasted fab. used less cocoa powder as someone else suggested, and used a different ready made icing / decorated it differently as it was for a birthday cake. BUT excellent and will make again for everyday scoffing. lots of compliments from everyone who ate it.

  Not a bad cake. I thought it was rather dry but that may be me. However this is the best cake icing I have ever come across. My boys hate butter icing but they love this so I use it on everything. Works well with white chocolate too. You have to leave it in the fridge until it sets properly or it runs of the cake.

  Not dry at all, in fact beautiful moist texture, quite dense, and oh so yummy! I had to give half of mine away or I would have eaten the whole thing in a few days :-o By far the best tray bake chocolate cake I have tried. Baking again for Children in Need tomorrow.

  Cold and wet outside. Wanted a change from mince pies. Scrummy cake and took note of the comments and only added half the cocoa. I too had trouble with the icing not setting but put icing sugar in to thicken it and it was ok. Will definitely make it again so easy to make.

  The is another very easy and foolproof recipe. Stunning. The only thing to watch out is the sugar sprinkles are great for children but far too crunchy for me and spoil it. I would ice a pattern with white chocolate next time. I use the value chocolate from sainsburys as its 50% solids and 30p. Not dry at all - assume over cooked if dry and the icing is to die for, not like sickily butter icing. Best shared as it sits in the tin waiting to be eat constantly and the small pieces go a long way. Ideal for school fetes or other charity raising events.

  This cake was the best cake i've ever made!it tasted like hot chocolate and all my family truly loved it!Cooking it went surprisingly well (though i'm only 12) taking around 55 minutes as the recipe said.Though for the icing if you want,replace the milk with caramel(around 100ml),it makes it not to runny and it gives great flavour. Give it a go!
