Dasha are you trying to get me fat? you have the best stuff dude I swear...
Mine turned out pretty dry and not too chocolate tasting on the inside did I miss something? cause I'm pretty sure I followed the ingridents step by step :(
Too much vanilla extract I'd recommend using only 1 teaspoon instead of two.
I didn't know what it meant by soft brown sugar so I just used normal brown sugar hat's okay right?..
Holy crap this was so tasty but hard to make for sure, not a beginner friendly cake at all.
One of my favorite cakes on here besides the banana poke cake.
I much prefer the lemon sponge cake to this but my daughter is a chocolate lover.
A chocolate lovers dream and a nightmare for lactose people like myself haha..this is so good but I know i'm going to regret eating it later lol.
Too bad people get fat off of eating a bunch of cake, I'd gladly eat this as a daily dessert any day of the week.
Okay so I'm totally obsessed and now I've been looking at all the amazing desserts on this website even though I'm full..
Accidently went with olvie oil instead of vegetable oil hopefully that doesn't change the flavor in anyway.
Was really good but I think it's a little too strong so maybe don't go with dark chocolate and try milk.
Is it possible to add more chocolate please? There just isn't enough (joking by the way)
Can't wait to make this for my nieces birthday tomorrow, I'm already preparing myself for a full covered chocolate face!! She's turning 5.
Me and my husband tried making this and when it was done we declared half and half!
I'm going to need to head to the gym after eating this whole thing by myself..
So soft and delicious..melted in my mouth.
It takes more time than what's written.
I shaped the cake as a heart and then added some snickers on the top for my co-workers bday!! Can't wait to take a huge slice all for myself loool.
Coffee powder won't be too good on the kids but I'll make this anyway and pray they won't be bouncing off the walls
Yummy-yummy! I love chocolate!!!
