Great recipe. Need to cook for about 1hr30 to 1hr45. I also used 1/2 cup less sugar and only 200g chocolate for the icing and added a passion fruit to icing. It was delicious. Making this cake again. Not overly sweet but still very decadent.

I made this the other night and accidentally mis-read the instructions as 2 cake pans. Having split the cake mix into the two pans it cooked exactly to the time/temperature stated and came out perfectly. Having realised my mistake, to correct it, I just added some of the ganache to the middle (as you would jam/cream), put the cakes together and covered all over with the rest of the ganache. It was delicious. Think I might make that mistake again????

This receipe sounds very good. In our place self raising flour is not available hence I have to do something to compensate it. Shall I put plain flour in place of it . If so what is the quantity of baking powder to be used.Please suggest I made Nutella cake so many time and it came out really well Regards Rajasree

I agree that an hour is nowhere near long enough cooking time for this cake. I baked it at the required temperature for 80 mins, then removed the foil until it browned on top, then replaced the foil and checked it until a skewer came out clean, about another 15 mins. A very sweet but delicious, easy to prepare cake. Kids will love it!

I have yet to cut into the cake, but I have my fingers crossed that it is as moist in texture as people are describing it to be. Is the foil really necessary? I ended up removing the foil after about 40 minutes as the cake looked like an omelette and was cooking slowly. I grew impatient :-op I enjoyed making this recipe though (:

Tudm - I had that same issue with the crust forming on top. I suppose that is normal with any recipe that has melted choc in it as the same thing happens with chocolate brownie (:

Baked for 1hr and 50min before baked through, and due to the fact that I had to check constantly after an hour, the cake was very cloddy and also baked a crust on the outside because of the extended baking time. The taste was good though.

Pure indulgent filth. Disappears very quickly when I make it!

this cake has gone totally to plan, smells lovely and was very easy to make, i think the only hard point about it is wondering how to decorate this for my daughter birthday who is a huge fan of white chocolate. the only bad comment i would say is that it does need a little longer in the oven than an hour, as my cake was still wobbly in the middle. other than that i would really recommend this. sets ya taste buds a watering
