Light & fluffy chocolate mocha cake
29 comments
"I rated this as one star a few weeks ago, but was unable to post a comment until today! We made this with high hopes. The cake baked beautifully, smelt chocolatey and came together easily. However, it was NOT nice to eat! The filling was too acid from the yoghurt and cream cheese, which is fine for a sweet carrot cake but not chocolate, and the icing was bitter - even with more sugar than in the recipe. The sponge itself was utterly tasteless. We'd rather have a "proper" chocolate cake, but less often, than "have our cake and eat it" with this one - which didn't work anyway, as we couldn't bring ourselves to eat it! Hugely disappointing."

"Lovely. Used dried puy lentils (200g), all the wine and a can of water then simmered the mix for 40 minutes. Also added most of the cheese to the mash as my daughter is suspicious of cheese on things, but will eat it if she can't see it...Serves three of us generously, and then I freeze two more individual portions to have at a later date. Made it twice now and we all love it."

"Is it supposed to be 0.5 tsp orange/lemon juice, or 5 tsp?"
