  was it really 1 tbsp (1 tablespoon) baking powder? After 1 hour in oven the top of the cake was nearly taking off. Can only assume too much BP. Otherwise tasted good and no probs with mixing in the food processor.

  This cake is one of the very best I have ever made or eaten. My 5 year old grandson thinks this is totally delish. I have made this a few times and passed it on to many of my family .

  Fantastic, delicious chocolate cake and very easy to make. Left out the chocolate chips and used a tub of chocolate Philadelphia in the middle. Really nice, will make again.

  I agree with Jackie...change the coco with drinking chocolate, particularly if going to serve without anything sweet. I tried adding white chocolate buddies, cooked as muffins and serve warm. Fabulous winter treat.

  Nothing against the cake recipe, it was easy to follow and the cake rose perfectly. However on personal note and it tasted awful.
