"re: sinking pears - I forgot to put the pears on and added them 10 mins after the cake mix had gone in the oven. No danger of them sinking if you add them a little after? "

"I made this yesterday and it was fantastic - I used a few more grams of chocolate than the recipe suggested, used hazelnuts and it was very moist, rich tasting and great. A different texture to your average sponge cakes and definitely will be making this again. I'm thinking of alternative toppings (the pears were delicious too) but thinking raspberries and choc fudge sauce for a really indulgent day. Thank you for this recipe it's brilliant. "

"This was a real winner - it looked fantastic, and you can't go wrong with 3 bars of dark chocolate and pots of cream! However - I too was confused about when and where to add the espresso and tia maria. I ended up putting it in the sponge mix (I' obviously had a glass of wine too many). I went wrong with the mousse and couldn't get my egg whites to fluff up, but just left it out - and although not mousse like in the centre it was still delicious. So my conclusion is that if you use most of the ingredients and get it a bit wrong it's still going to taste and look delicious. "
