"Really good!! Very dark moist tray bake chocolate cake. Far outshines the shop bought version. Just a word of warning - when you add the bicarb to the hot chocolate mix it erupts!! So use a very large container."

"This is an absolutely deliciously moist chocolate cake, I've made it hundreds of times, for birthdays, for school cake sales, I've made muffins from it too, added choc chips, it's the easiest and best chocolate cake by far - we can't find any other chocolate cake that is better!!"
