  Very easy to make but 5 tablespoons of cocoa powder is too much. Gave it an almost powerdery taste. Other than that, very yummy and chocolatey! Will definately make again, but with half the cocoa powder :-)

  Made this for second time today. First time followed recipe and even though was delicious was extremely rich - cut into 12 was too much. This time, I left out the cocoa powder from the cake and made the icing with just icing sugar and cocoa powder and it was equally scrummy but substantially fewer calories. Will definitely make again using these changes.

  It is difficult to obtain soured cream where I live. Any alternatives?

  Mmmm!! I amended this slightly to make them into large cupcakes and I also put a raspberry in the bottom of each case so we'd get the sharp tang of the fruit. I left off the sprinkles as so many reviews said they ruined the texture of the cake and I can totally see why. The cake produced with this recipe is light and moist and delicious and far too delicate for such a harsh crunch on top. Perhaps a more nutty topping if you're looking for texture or perhaps even a little cookie? Either way, this recipe made LOADS of cupcakes and the icing recipe was a revelation! Will make this one again

  Made this last night with my mum. It looked exactly the same as the picture! But the chocolate tasted way to strong an was actually quite dry! Maybe it's just our taste buds but we usually both love a chocolate cake but this was bloody horrible x

  Best chocolate cake ive ever made ! Since i didnt have a square tin i used a circular one and when the cake was cool i cut the cake in two and sandwiched them together with chocolate butter cream then put the icing from the recipe on the top of the cake, all i can say is YUMMY !

  I used this mixture for cupcakes and added chocolate chips to some, it made about 25. I also halved the amount of cocoa as mentioned in other comments. YUM!

  For questions on obtaining sour cream use natural yogurt - works just as well. You can also use single cream and perhaps add a few drops of lemon juice if you want to get the sour. I would never buy sour cream for small amounts - generally I have plenty of quality natural yogurt in my fridge. Hope that helps.

  I followed the recipe exactly and it turned out perfectly, it's a winner, so light but really chocolaty, will definitely make again (think I'll have to buy a bigger size trouser by the time we finish it!!)

  I made this with half the cocoa as suggested and it was lovely. Warmed in microwave and then served with ice cream it was delicious. Son and husband were fighting over last slice.

  for a choc lover this was ok, i did think chocolate + butter and condensed milk sounded a bit like a heart attack ! but i was a bit a dissapointed with the taste and i used 2 aero bars instead of the chocolate as i only had them ;0) sadly the taste wasnt that great , not as expected from the picture . not horrible but not like the fudge cake ive had in the past ! mine looked as good as above but not a keeper for the book ! easy to make and follow so good on that front but only 3/5 i think .
