I made up this mix and stuck it in the fridge. Whenever I want a treat, I just stick some in a mug and microwave it. With a few semi-sweet chocolate chips mixed in, it's divine.

    I baked it for a birthday, but since it's a weekend trip away from home so I just made a basic cake and drizzled with ganache (instead of your topping) It was very dense, quite rich and not too sweet, I was actually looking for one that has a crunchy top but this isn't the one. Nonetheless, everyone enjoyed this cake but I didn't get rave responses like I usually get with all other recipes. I replaced oil with butter to give it a more flavourful , it was otherwise the same.

    Yummy! I made this on Nov 24th'2001 for my brother's b'day party. Everyone freaked out on it. It's delicious! I garnished it with blanched and chopped almonds and red glaze cherries. Besides that, I cut it into 2 halves in the middle so as to have 2 cakes and then, spread a layer of Lali's Homemade Chocolate Pudding on one cake and covered it with the other. Then, on top of this one, I put some more of her pudding. It was "YUM"! I clicked a snap too so as to remember how much I LOVED this cake. "This is her gift to me", my brother says

    Mirjam, this recipe is absolutely delicious! Rich, moist and deep dark chocolate! This cake really needs no frosting, it stands on it's own, although my husband loved the icing as well! If you are a true chocolate lover, you must try this wonderful cake! I made it exactly as the recipe called for. Thanks for posting this one, Mirjam. My family truly enjoyed every bite!
