I find using the butterfly gives this cake a ligher texture.

I'm afraid mine came out dry and crumbled as well. I followed the recipe to a tee, I had to cook it an extra 10 mins as it wasn't cooked at 50 mins. I would attempt it again but I think it might need another egg to bind it. The flavour is great, cocoa is very drying so you need to add extra moisture to offset that dryness. I also find a spoon of coffee dissolved in the water brings an extra depth of flavour to the chocolate, as opposed to vanilla, coffee helps bring out the chocolate flavour from the cocoa.

No idea why but mine didn’t rise? It looks like a chocolate pancake and I can’t understand why as I followed the recipe exactly, except for only using 100g of sugar. Any ideas what went wrong? Also used a fan forced oven

Terrible cake. Dry and has no flavour. Not sure what went wrong but won't make it again. Even kids wouldn't eat it.

Reduced the sugar in the cake to 100g as was suggested below, and it was absolutely perfect, paired with the sweet buttercream icing. The mini chocolate cakes took around 20mins to cook.

A very basic tasting chocy
A very basic tasting chocy cake if that's what your after. It is moist though and looks great. I don't think much of the icing as it's too sweet and gritty myself.
Yum super moist cake

Just made this cake for my
Just made this cake for my hubby for fathers day tomorrow. I can't comment on the taste as I'm making it for him and his work colleagues who have to work on fathers day. It was really easy to make though. Only issue I had was after inserting the butterfly. Perhaps I didn't insert it properly but it made issues with the timer (it took a few seconds before it would start counting down). I remembered my rep saying the butterfly is only necessary for whipping cream and egg whites, so I took it out and it mixed fine and no problems with machine. Cake looks good. Thanks for the recipe!

THANK YOU!!!
I have finally (after many, many years of searching!) found my 'go to' quick and easy chocolate cake.
This was moist, chocolatey and delish and everyone should have this recipe in their repertoire of cakes.
I absolutely loved this cake.
I absolutely loved this cake. I doubled the recipe for my mums birthday cake and it worked really well, beautifully moist and lovely flavour. Will definitely be making again.
I had the same problem have
I had the same problem have had cakes crack a little across the top before but this one split down the middle then one half split into quarters. It may have been because it rose to a peak so when I flipped it out on the cooling rack the weight of it pulled the sides down... maybe????? I am sure it will still taste great...
I baked this yesterday as a
I baked this yesterday as a childrens birthday character/layer cake. Ive misplaced my butterfly so just mixed 30 seconds instead. Doubled and baked in two 29 x 39 cm roasting tins for 30 mins. I used http://www.recipecommunity.com.au/baking-sweet-recipes/chocolate-cream-cheese-frosting/158710 as the layer filling and regular buttercream on top. This was dense enough to hold up to the manipulation but still nice and soft and fluffy. Perfect cake for it!

I always use large to extra
I always use large to extra large eggs, so maybe your eggs are too small? Each oven is different, which may account for the longer cooking time, but it sounds a bit too long. I have just made this cake this afternoon and it cooked fine in my oven at 180C, no fan

Hi I made your cake tonight
Hi I made your cake tonight and doubled the recipe. I had the same result as Maggie 1995. I cooked it in a gell cake tin increased the baking time by about 20 mins until cooked through. Waited 20 mins or so to turn it out onto wire rack and it literally fell apart. What did I do wrong?

I'm very happy with this
I'm very happy with this one... Thanks!
I actually doubled the recipe and was a little worried when I had flecks of butter throughout the mixture but it turned out great once baked (in two 20cm round cake tins), so next time I might let the butter soften to room temp or a little more even. I also reduced the amount of sugar and cocoa but you wouldn't know, still tastes great and is staying together as you'd expect, when cutting it does not crumble/fall apart any more than normal. I'm sure my daughter and her friends will love it!
Easy and delicious.

Tell me what did I do wrong.
Tell me what did I do wrong. Made this cake today for my daughters birthday. What a disaster, the cake seemed to crack up while cooking, when I took it out of the oven and left it to cool more cracks started to appear when I turned it out of the tin it was like watching a earthqake cracked all over and fell apart before our eyes. It does taste very nice/ BUT. HELP
:bigsmile: Love this
Love this recipe. I make little muffins with it. Great for kids lunch box. I do cut down on the sugar and use rapadura and it still works out yummo. It is such a light fluffy and it's not dry at all. Thank you so much for a great recipe.
Many Thanks for this great
