  That looks like the biggest melt in the middle cake ever.

  It is a big help for we American cooks to have the recipes converted to ozs but could you also do that with fahrenheit for the oven and inches for the size of the cake pans? It would be very much appreciated.

  This looks wonderful and will try it sometime. I noticed that you haven't included the usual nutritional breakdown that often accompanies the recipe. I suspect the fat content of this scrumptious looking cake will be well off the map!

  Super chocoholic cake! I left out the biscuit as I have a wheat intolerance and it was fine. Not quite as deep obviously, so I gave it five minutes less time in the oven. Kept it for the next day for a dinner party and it cut beautifully. None left!!!! Speaks for itself I think!

  I first made this after it featured in the BBC Good Food magazine supplement back in April 2007 and several times since - each time it has gone down a storm and is equally good the next day (like a very fudgy brownie). I occasionally like to add chopped toasted hazlenuts too - yum! To answer 'Matrix' comment, the nutritional information (taken from the original booklet) per serving is 720 cal, 9g protein, 67g carb, 48g sat fat, 3g fibre, 52g sugar, 0.22g salt but this is not something to make if that is what you look at!

  I have done this numerous times. It is SO easy to make. I don't always add the biscuits but then reduce cooking time by a few minutes. This is possibly my most requested dessert!

  Really delicious! I found it a little difficult to serve when warm and very soft. But easy to slice the next day when I thought it actually tasted better. Heaven!

  A friend cooked this for us one day and it was WONDERFUL!!! She got it from a book at work and we had to wait a year before she told us the recipe. I love using dark orange chocolate which has bits of rind in etc.. It's mouth watering!! I did try it with chilli choc but none of us liked it. A couple of tips - make this the day before as it tastes a million times better after it's been left to chill overnight. You deffo need to line the tin, and make sure you leave it to cool in the tin (it's very gooey when warm and will just ooze if you cut it).

  Fabulous cake...works well as a pudding straight from the oven served with ice-cream, but tastes best the next day cold with a hot cuppa:)
