Tested

"There are a lot of comments calling this recipe 'amazing', 'fabulous', 'magnificent' and so on. I'm afraid I have to completely and utterly......agree . It is jaw-droppingly awesome. I followed the recipe almost to the letter. The only difference is that I used 85% Green and Blacks, and added a bit more sugar to the ganache (about 2-3 ounces, to taste) to knock off the bitterness. I used a 20cm tin, and the cake rose to nearly 4 inches (10cm), so cutting it in three was no problem after letting it cool down completely (about three hours). I made 1.5 times the ganache, and would consider that to be just about right - but I'm a chocolate fiend. If you like chocolate, and wondering whether to make this recipe or not, stop wondering and just do it. It is superb. Many, many thanks to Angel Nilsen."
