I have made this twice and it has become my family's favourite chocolate cake. A word of warning though - it is very dense, almost pudding like and if you don't like the rich treacle like flavour of dark muscovado sugar and you prefer your cakes to be light and airy then this is not the recipe for you.

Let's just say that I've made this cake more than once (I won't confess how many times), and that it's excellent. It's by no means difficult or expensive, so what are you waiting for?

I baked this cake in an effort to ingratiate myself with my colleagues and get a pay rise. They now point at me in a mocking fashion and call me 'Squidgy'. I have lost all my confidence and am now on sick leave. Had I left the cake in the oven for an extra 15 minutes I would have got the rise I was hoping for... and so would the cake.

It turned out great — nice and moist. I would however prefer to make some sort of frosting for it next time.

Because of the brown sugar (I think) this cake burns quickly on the outside. The inside was okay, moist and fluffy, although it tasted too treacly for my taste. Don't think I would make this one again.

Very nice but so incredibly dense it created it's own gravity field that attracted all the fat people in the office and you needed wellies for the goo in the middle. Cakebaron - I like mine firm
