    Really really yummy. I’m a baker, and I’ve tried many many recipes. This is the perfect mix of a traditional chocolate cake and a mud cake. Not as dense as a mud cake / brownie but tastes as chocolatey and decadent. I imagine once refrigerated it will be more mudcake like. I used 10g less caster sugar in the recipe and I used half:half of the 50% and 62% dark chocolate as that is what I had on hand. I cooked the cake in an 8” tin and in a second small 4” tin (normal process for trying new recipes) and the 8” tin took at least 60mins at 150degC (I dropped the temp as my oven seems to run hot). I will try this with ganache and whipped cream!

    an excellent cake and recipe.

    recipe works well but I find it requires more baking/ time in oven than stated.

    rich and delicious

    I have made this cake a few times now. It’s very nice. However, it takes a lot longer to cook than 40 minutes.
